	eMedicine - Aerospace Medicine : Article by John Ogle
		Aerospace medicine is a subdiscipline of preventive and emergency medicine that ties together physics, life support, and medicine to protect aircrew and patients in the realm of aerospace.
		Aerospace medicine is seldom included in emergency medicine training curricula, but most ED physicians will encounter problems related to the flight environment.
		Medicine is a constantly changing science and not all therapies are clearly established.

	aerospace medicine
		It has two sub-branches: aviation medicine, concerned with flight in Earth's atmosphere and under at least normal Earth gravity, and space medicine, concerned with flight beyond the atmosphere in which humans are typically exposed to a fraction of normal Earth gravity.
		Aerospace medicine has its roots in the 18th-century physiological studies of balloonists, some of whom were physicians.
		Aviation medicine was recognized as a specialty of preventive medicine by the American Medical Association in 1953 and saw its name change to aerospace medicine in 1963.
