Hey EM gurus and fellow students like myself.
I am a foreign medical student and an EM fanatic. Recently I got an opportunity to finish a clerkship in the US at the St. Mary's Hospital Longbeach. A mentor there suggested I read this book, "The Rape of Emergency medicine" by James Keaney to know more about the histroy of EM. And believe you me, I was shocked to say the least about its gory beginnings.
I am posting this topic here to ask for an opinion from some of the old guns as to the accuracy of the representation in the book. Were the AAEM and pyramid inc as bad (an understatement) as they are made out to be in this book?
