When Airmen or their families have a medical emergency, time can be of the essence. Focused on immediate decision-making and treatment, Emergency Services Physicians take the actions necessary to care for and stabilize their patients. The care provided by these quick-thinking specialists often prevents death or further disability until they can be referred to the appropriate medical departments.
