Newsweek is doing a "web exclusive" story on the crisis in Emergency Medicine. They spent some time at Grady Memorial in Atlanta. It's a three part story, and I only have the first two. I'll post the third part when it arrives. The first has to do with cuts to Medicaid. The second article describes a typical Saturday at Grady Memorial and goes in to more issues like overcrowding and lack of funding. My favorite quote from that article is, "Two years ago, Kellerman received a resignation letter from a top-notch doctor. 'I can't take it anymore, she told him. I am so afraid of making a mistake that I'm vomiting in my driveway before I go to work.'" They make it look so bleak, and yet I am incredibly excited to get in there next month and start my training. I hope that I am not too much of a naive optimist.
