With thirteen years of clinical practice, active licensure in four states, and specialized military training in trauma and critical care transport, Dr. Butts brings a working knowledge of emergency medicine as it is actually practiced — under time pressure, incomplete information, and shifting acuity — to the review of medical records and the standard-of-care questions that follow from them.
