An emergency doctor usually works on a team with nurses and other doctors in a hospital setting such as an emergency room or trauma center. An emergency physician must know all of the body's systems and how each of them works. They need to know how to triage and how to do it quickly. They also need to have a wide range of medical knowledge for each age, because vital signs are different from age to age and injuries will also affect people differently based on their age. For example, if a child gets their arm cut, they will bleed very quickly, while an adult would bleed quickly but not that fast because an adult's blood volume is about 5 liters and a child's blood volume is about 78 ml and a child is also more susceptible to infections, because his immune system is not as developed. The primary duty of their job is to perform advanced life support and stabilize patients with life-threatening injuries similar to that of a paramedic, but the scope of practice of an emergency physician is much broader. In order for an emergency doctor to stabilize a patient, a wide variety of procedures may be necessary, from performing a cesarean section to emergency thoracotomy, which is a procedure performed to open the chest cavity and expose the heart, lungs, esophagus and diaphragm. to stop bleeding in the heart due to trauma, perform cardiac compressions, and relieve cardiac tamponade. Some of the most common things they have to do are soft tissue repairs such as basic suturing, the use of staples and glue, local anesthesia, and regional nerve blocks. They also may have to perform ophthalmological repairs such as a slit lamp exam used to examine the eye with a microscope for disease, also the use of a tonometer… middle of paper… ding. I also like to have the pressure that they will only experience if you treat them correctly and quickly. I like to challenge myself, because once I succeed it makes me feel very proud of myself because I'm doing something right and it's at the same time something I love doing. I also like learning new things, especially things that interest me like medicine and there are always new things to learn in that field, in fact you have to have continuing education every year and renew your license every two years, so it's always exciting things to learn. I also like working with people, the sicker the better, but I really like people, because everyone is different and has their own story to tell you. Many people complain about their job, but I know it won't be my fault, because I know for sure that I will love my job very much.
