Paediatric emergency medicine - very comprehensive reading. The "emerg" is the setting where doth take place the core practice of medicine upon which everything else is built , namely cardiopulmonary rescucitation - basic life support - everything else goes back to this fundamental axiom , its algorithm , that describes very plainly , almost in an autistic manner, the way to intervene in the body of another person in order to resuscitate its structure and integrity. If one masters BSL , then one truly masters the practice of medicine , I think
The algorithms follow very objectively written flow charts, completely rid of any distracting aesthetics or flowery descriptions. When approaching the mechanics of the body, which follow the laws of a machine , the logistical flow charts does make sense. But the bodily machine is created by atoms of matter (matrix) which indicates that depending on the level of analysis , the laws of nature described by Newton is integrated within a context of totality , where the poetic (meaning symbolic narrative) is the proper tool to capture totality
The meshwork of flow charts is weaved together in the matrix of reality , and poetic language is more appropriate when describing totality , compared to decription of the minute particulars
