2100 N Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, Clovis, NM

575-769-2141

Dr. Timothy Carswell is an emergency medicine specialist in Roswell, NM. He is a graduate of International.

"I was admitted to the ER with dangerously high blood pressure 210/160 with dizziness and ringing in the ears. He seemed angry from the moment he walked into the room and immediately made me feel unsafe. He was rude, condescending, and falsely attributed the high BP to a non-existent anxiety disorder and failure to take prescribed medication. I have never been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and have no such prescription. He told me I'd better get my BP under control or I was going to "stroke out" (medical term) but gave me no treatment before discharging me, which led to an almost immediate return to the ER in a 2nd ambulance ride of the day. Thankfully the next Dr. was much better. I later noticed on my online record he had listed Morbid Obesity as an underlying condition even though I'm 6'2" 235 lbs and 23.4% body fat. It seems in addition to not listening to a word I had to say, he also didn't bother to even take a gook look at me. "

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.
