Ich kam, sah und intubierte

The everyday life of a doctor is exciting! The daily confrontation with all kinds of people from various social backgrounds, along with their illnesses and problems, leaves its mark. Even more thrilling than being a doctor is the role of an emergency physician. No matter how bizarre or dangerous the situations are that lead people to call for help, the emergency physician and their team must remain calm and composed. Sometimes, it’s enough to reassure the patient or offer them encouraging words to restore their sense of stability; other times, courage and a great deal of medical expertise are required. At any hour of the day or night, the "cowboys with blue lights" are on the move, often holding the fate of a patient’s life in their hands—whether they live or die. This demanding role pushes emergency physicians to their limits—and beyond.
