Dr. Kevan Long specializes in emergency medicine and practices in Arcata, CA. He graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine.

"I had the worst medical experience of my life with this doctor. I needed mental health treatment badly. I was behaving poorly as a result. He told me not to be rude to him, I was rude to him and he denied me treatment. He broke his oath. He broke the law. He put my life in danger. All because of his ego. I am still shocked and disgusted by what he did. I'm so grateful for the Arcata Police taking me to another hospital to get the help I needed. They probably saved my life."

What is Emergency Medicine?

Emergency medicine, as the name implies, refers to the treatment of patients whose illness or injury is an emergency. This usually means the illness or injury is serious and was unexpected. Emergency medicine includes disaster response teams, ambulance personnel such as EMTs and paramedics, and doctors or nurses at an ER.

Emergency medicine specialists are trained to deal with all kinds of different conditions affecting all kinds of different people, as just about any medical condition can become an emergency. An emergency medicine physician might treat patients with:

Trauma from a car accident
Heart attack
Poisoning
Near drowning
Broken bones
Premature labor
Drug overdose
Suicide attempt
Burns
High fever

In a busy emergency room, staff could even potentially see all of these problems in the same day. Emergency medicine specialists work in a fast-paced environment, treating serious health issues. They must make decisions quickly. Because emergency care is the only point of access to health care for many Americans, emergency medicine physicians must also provide screening and referrals as well as treatment.

There are over 120 million ER visits in the United States every year. Emergency medicine is a very important part of the health care system, and the providers routinely save lives.
