Abstract
When I accepted the James D. Mills Award from The American College of Emergency Physicians,
I had three goals in mind, which I wanted to share with those attending the commemorative
dinner meeting. My first goal was to remind those in attendance that each of us must
make our academic dreams come true. My next goal was to acknowledge two of my empowering
teachers at the dinner, Dr. Peter Rosen and Dr. William Sacco, who have made revolutionary
advances in health care; and finally, I wished to remind the membership of the need
to work with Congressional leaders to pass the Access to Emergency Medical Services
Act of 2009. I warned the leaders in emergency medicine of the necessity to pass the
Access to Emergency Medical Services Act of 2009 to ensure that our emergency medical
patients receive prompt and responsible care. This has been our quest.
