Why Common Sense ?
In January of 1776, Thomas Paine published Common Sense, a 48-page monograph explaining why the colonies should separate from Great Britain and become an independent nation. It was an immediate best seller, and swayed a nation in which only a minority of the population supported independence. Its arguments were echoed months later in the Declaration of Independence. It should be noted that Common Sense was edited and titled by Benjamin Rush, the most prominent American physician of the colonial era and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
The American Academy of Emergency Medicine was founded in 1993, and one issue of the Academy’s newsletter was published that year. It was named Common Sense, both to honor Thomas Paine and because of the similarities AAEM founders saw in AAEM’s founding compared with American independence from Great Britain.
