Volume V of Careers is a unique edition in this series as it was the last to be co-edited by the late founding editor B. Raymond Fink, M.D. It is also a single-author volume dedicated to the contemporary history of anesthesia and resuscitative medicine.

Spanning decades of his life in the second half of the last century, Peter J. Safar, M.D., weaves together a comprehensive story of the advances of emergency and critical care medicine — from the prehospital arena through emergency transport with life support to in-hospital care in the emergency department, operating room and intensive care unit.

This uniquely “Safaresque” volume is a perfect gift for friends and colleagues.
