Join us In Conversation with Jim Meek, who co-authored Treat Them Where They Lie with the late Dr. Ron Stewart.
Treat Them Where They Lie: Pioneering a Revolution in Modern Emergency Medicine is a long-awaited memoir of a trailblazing emergency physician (otherwise known as “Doc Hollywood”) and a former Nova Scotia Minister of Health, also tells the story of modern emergency medicine. When Ron Stewart—a coal miner’s son from the east coast of Canada—took a residency in emergency medicine in Los Angeles in 1972, emergency care was still in its infancy. After sixteen years of high-stakes trailblazing in the US emergency medical system, Stewart took on the Minister of Health job in his native Nova Scotia, where he battled long odds and fierce opposition to introduce a modern Emergency Health Services system. In this powerful and moving memoir, Ron Stewart and co-author Jim Meek tell a captivating story of passion and determination while exploring the highs and lows of a life well lived.
