This is a clip of a study I just read online about the same staffing issues for ED nationwide: The current state of emergency physicians is bad enough, with the 40,000 clinically active emergency doctors far from enough to treat the growing number of patients showing up in the ED. The shortage is particularly bad in the rural areas of the U.S., as well as the central part of the country. As if that's not bad enough, it's looking as though this shortage will continue for several decades, according to a new study, which appears now in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
