Known for candid perspectives and sense of humor, pediatric emergency guru Dr. Richard Cantor shares how PEM reminds residents to be present with patients. The organic nature of PEM requires us to use all five senses, engage with patients and their families, and see past burdensome EMRs. Dr. Cantor recalls his transformation from day one as an intern to life as an attending, and he reminds new practitioners to always do what's best for patients and their families.
