Summary Annotation. Every day across Australia, specialist emergency physicians do extraordinary things to save lives. The emergency room demands a lot of its practitioners; they have to be able to turn their hand quickly to whatever medical emergency they encounter. The stakes are high. This is where lives get saved. This is where people die. This is where everyone is tested to their limits, staff burn out, and patients are given news that will change their lives forever.Amongst the daily chaos of the ED, talented doctors have a huge responsibility. They battle the high-emotion and constant patient backlog to make clear, considered, life-or-death decisions every single day. These are their stories from the front-line
