Introduction
This section of the Emergeny Medicine and Primary Care Web Site
is designed for several purposes. First, for those who find
themselves in the role of "a teacher". These cases are
presented in a format that allows a leader to take an individual
or a group through a case with defined goals and objectives.
These objectives can all be found in a di scussion that follows
the case. When possible, the cases will include pictures or
ECG's. Second, the cases are meant to be used by anyone who feels
that they would benefit by reviewing one of the presented topics
and the information is here for any interested party to freely
use and benefit from. My final goal in developing this section is
to encourage discussion amoung the people who read these cases. I believe
that medicine benefits from the learning, experience, and input
of physicians everywhere. One of the greatest advantages of the
WWW is that it allows me to discuss ideas with clinicians from
every major teaching center in th e country as well as those who
work in small practice centers. For this section to grow and improve
I need input on the cases. If you have good pictures, send them
my way and they can be added (credits will be given). I plan to
update these topics as new information is published or as it
comes to me from those who read the cases. If you read or use
this section, please drop me a note so we can keep track of the
use and growth of this area. You can reach me at: rrhemp@connecti.com or rrhemp@aol.com
