Society of Emergency Medicine India (SEMI) Launching National Journal of Emergency Medicine
Society of Emergency Medicine India (SEMI) Launching National Journal of Emergency Medicine
20-Sep-2012
Editors Desk
The first issue of the National Journal of Emergency Medicine (NJEM), the official journal of the Society of Emergency Medicine India (SEMI), is due to launch by the end of this month. www.semi.org.in
According to Dr. V. P. Chandrasekaran, the Chief Editor of NJEM, this will be a quarterly journal which will address the need of Indian emergency medicine. He said that Indian EM had a lot of unique issues like pesticide & plant poisoning, limited availability of EM physicians, self triage of the common public to the specialist, poor awareness of EM and absence of qualified emergency medical technicians.
NJEM has Dr. Meyei Appachi (Salem), Dr. Senthil Kumar (Salem), Dr. Tamorish Kole (Delhi) and Dr. Srinath Kumar (Salem), as Associate Editors, along with an editorial team of 31 members and an executive advisory panel of 10 members. The draft copy which we saw had an interesting research article on tetanus which showed patient hospital expenditures in tetanus cases.
During the last couple of years, many Indian journals of EM were launched by various individuals and groups. You may recall some names like Vitals and Journal of Emergency Medicine India (JEMI), and also Indian Journal of Emergency Medicine. None of these saw the light of the day. The NJEM is the first effort of SEMI to promote research in EM and this journal seems to be more robust than others, considering the background of the team supporting it. Emergency physicians in India will be able to get their hands on a hard copy of NJEM during the month of October. We expect to see some good stuff in this publication as it matures.
Meanwhile, another online journal, Journal for Emergencies, Trauma & Shock (JETS) www.onlinejets.org published by the INDO-US Emergency & Trauma Collaborative has been online for Indian viewers since 2008. Indo-US Trauma Collaborative (www.indusem.com) is joint academic effort between the University of South Florida, USA and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). JETS is focused on emergency medicine, traumatology & shock resuscitation. And lets not forget the veteran publication EMS India which has been coming to our emergency rooms regularly for free, since 2007. www.emsindia.in
Even though far from what is in the West, Indian emergency medicine is growing faster than others and we can see it to continually evolve to suit the requirements of our local needs.

Indian Hospital Hires Bouncers to Deter Attacks
13-Sep-2012
Working in an Indian hospital can be dangerous. In April, a week before a hospital hired the bouncers, friends of an emergency-room patient punched a doctor in the face and broke his nose before going on a rampage with hockey sticks, swinging at windows, lights, furniture and medical staff.

Even in big cities like Mumbai, it is virtually impossible for a heart or trauma patient to reach any doctor within the first hour. The governments (training) guidelines were, and still are, impractically stringent. Even non-accredited programs run by the private sector have trained less than 500 trauma physicians. said Dr. Mahesh Joshi, Head of Emergency Medicine at Apollo, Indias largest network of private hospitals.

Review Paper - Right to Emergency Care - Consumer Court
14-Aug-2012
Indifference towards victims of accidents and those in emergency medical conditions and even women under labour who are about to deliver is not peculiar to India but is prevalent in other countries also. The Supreme Court (SC) of India as long back as 1989 observed in Parmanand Katara v. Union of India that when accidents occur and the victims are taken to hospitals or to a medical practitioner, they are not taken care of for giving emergency medical treatment on the ground that the case is a medico-legal case and the injured person should go to a Government Hospital. The SC emphasized the need for making it obligatory for hospitals and medical practitioners to provide emergency medical care.
