Resuscitationist – a medical practitioner whose primary motivation is to provide maximally aggressive curative and palliative care to their patients–always!

Resuscitationist is a term I stole from the cardiac arrest researchers. What a waste to apply this only to cardiac arrest? Let's take ownership of it!
