Minh le Cong (@rfdsdoc) from down on the PHARM has hosted some of Doug Lynch’s (@TheTopEnd) “jellybean” interviews from the SMACC 2013 conference in Sydney last week. A selection of his chats (including one with Doug, Minh and I where we discuss my stroke lysis talk, Ireland, Tasmania, and the state of the nation) can [...]
I’ve been thinking about FOAM since SMACC2013 (Social Media and Critical Care)…thinking a lot and talking to some friends. I’ve cleared my desk literally and figuratively for a while and intend to read a lot and spend sometime away from computers and in the fresh air. But for good or ill I’m going to share [...]

The idea was to try and introduce the concept to an audience beyond ED/CritCare, and perhaps engage some of our colleagues from a wider spectrum of interests to the benefits of FOAM.

I had intended to follow up my recent series of posts on STEMI vs pericarditis, a pet topic of mine (1. case / 2. ECG interpretation / 3. follow up), with a piece on differentiating these two entities. However, my posts were spotted by the incomparable ECG expert Amal Mattu, and he has based this week’s UMEM “EKG of the [...]
Mike Cadogan (@sandnsurf on Twitter, author of Life in the Fast Lane and the brains behind the Global Medical Education Project) is taking mighty leaps for mankind in creating a grand unifying resource for medical education (and particularly Emergency Medicine and Critical Care) by running with the FOAMed concept germinated at ICEM 2012 over a [...]
