Dear colleagues,

With great joy, we offer you the new edition of the book that you supported and loved. I don't hide from you that all these years, in my continuous interaction with the subject of emergency medicine, I had the fear of forgetting. Not to forget the beginning of my career, when as a young doctor I was anxious about handling urgent cases. Now, older and calmer, my anxiety has decreased but not disappeared. No matter how many times we face death, we will always be at a disadvantage. Continuous education and research are just a small rejuvenation against this constant struggle.

I share your anxiety, I envy your youthful passion, and I will always be your supporter in this common fight. Don't worry, you don't have to be a magician to deal with an acute case. All you need is education and knowledge. Because emergency medicine is like a shadow: if you see it at night, it frightens you, but if you approach it with the light of day, you demystify it. Have a good journey, colleagues, and stay strong.
