In the docuseries “Moments of Flow,” we unravel the flow experienced by exceptional teams. This episode focuses on the flow of the team led by Emergency Room (ER) physician Ingvar Berg, which saved the life of a pulmonary embolism patient brought in by ambulance on that particular evening.
Emergency Medicine is dedicated to diagnosing and treating patients with acute medical needs. As an ER physician, you’re usually the first doctor at the patient’s bedside, responsible for stabilization. To achieve this, you quickly form a team on the spot, with its composition depending on the specific medical need.
Due to intense time pressure, this demands a highly structured way of collaborating, strictly adhering to protocols. This presents an extra challenge to achieve a state of flow very quickly as a team. “The cohesive team in the emergency room is therefore essential; you truly do the work together,” says Ingvar Berg.
Ingvar Berg works as an ER physician in the Emergency Department of Haaglanden Medical Center.
