Imagine having just six minutes to save a life. In those precious minutes, you must assess the patient, guide your team, extract vital history from panicked family members, and offer them comfort—all while racing against time and fate. This is the daily reality for emergency physicians like me. Sometimes, we succeed. And when we do, it feels nothing short of miraculous. But other times—despite every effort—we lose the battle. What follows is not just the visible grief of the family, but an invisible storm that rages silently within the heart of the physician. After two decades in emergency medicine, I often find myself haunted by a single thought: What if someone—anyone—around the patient had recognized the warning signs earlier? What if they had acted faster? What if they had known the importance of the Golden Hour? Time and again, I have witnessed lives slip away—not because medical help was unavailable, but because it arrived too late. Tragically, even among the most educated and well-off, there remains a dangerous gap in understanding how to respond in those critical first moments. It is that helplessness—those preventable losses—that inspired me to write this book. “Red Book” is not a medical textbook. It is a simple, clear, and practical guide designed for everyone—parents, children, teachers, workers, elders, and students. It speaks in a language anyone can understand, because emergencies do not ask for your qualifications, background, or age. If reading this book helps even one person stay calm in a crisis, make the right decision, and save someone’s mother, father, child, or friend—then this mission will have been worth every word. Let’s not wait for miracles. Let’s become the miracle.
