Some are resistant to treatment, to become a chronic problem represented in resistant overcrowded ED, and it is a syndrome that needs a holistic view of the problem, then to have a holistic solution, and this needs teamwork to be achieved, so the authors have to consider all these problems and solutions together; and may be more solutions are needed. The author＇s goal is to reach to effectively running ED, structurally and functionally, locally and internationally.展开更多
