Jellybean 93 with Naomi Diel
LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog - Emergency medicine and critical care medical education blog
The College of Intensive Care Annual Scientific Meeting is upon us. How do you make something like that happen? Lets ask Naomi Diel, part of last years organising committee.
The CICM ASM is happening next month. It is in Hobart. That’s in Tasmania.
Last year it was in Sydney. There are probably more first year ICU trainees in one hospital in Sydney than there are Intensivists of any description in the state of Tasmania. This year will be different.
When I was a kid, m...

LITFL: Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog - Emergency medicine and critical care medical education blog
As my graduating peers and I embark on our medical careers, it’s a fitting time to consider which medical careers we actually desire. I’ve always had a strong sense of direction for the specialty path I wish to pursue, but at times, like now, I flirt with the idea of pursuing other avenues. It is an important issue that deserves deliberate consideration as it’s what most of us will dedicate the lion’s share of our lives to.
Is being a “specialist in life” as a GP ...

Healthcare Update Satellite — 09-15-2014
This study should be required reading in every emergency medicine residency in this country. In fact, the concepts in the studies should be tested on the emergency medicine board exams.
Now if the study only compared the type of a patient’s insurance with the likelihood of emergency department recidivism.
How else can the media try to tarnish this guy’s reputation? The doctor who oversaw Joan Rivers’ fatal endoscopy was once *sued* 10 years ago. Gasp.
The former patient’s attorneys are really trying to create their 15 minutes of fame. They alleged that 10 years ago the patient received no informed ...

Jellybean 82; Extraordinary tales of ordinary heroism. An Iraqi Story.
The best thing about making the jellybeans is that I get to meet some thoroughly excellent people.
While at the CICM ASM in Sydney I was introduced to a gentleman named Wesam Al-Basaam and he had a story to tell. When I say gentleman I really mean gentleman. Wesam is a consultant intensivist at the Austin Hospital. That is a pretty good job. It’s a very good hospital and most of us would be very h...

National Digital Health Strategies Around the World
As healthcare systems struggle with unsustainability, a shortage of medical professionals, while technological development is soaring, digital health seems to be a viable path toward making healthcare feasible. We looked around the world, which countries have the same idea in mind trying to put it into practice. The following national digital health strategies are the examples we found.
Why does every country need a digital health strategy?
Three reasons necessitate the urgent introduction of a digital health strategy in every country.
(1) First and foremost, healthcare systems are unsustainable. According to OECD projecti...

A History of General Refrigeration
Ancient societies figured out that hypothermia was useful for hemorrhage control, but it was Hippocrates who realized that body heat could be a diagnostic tool. He caked his patients in mud, deducing that warmer areas dried first.
Typhoid fever, the plague of Athens in 400 BC and the demise of the Jamestown Colony in the early 1600s, led Robert Boyle to attempt to cure it around 1650 by dunking patients in ice-cold brine. This is likely the first application of therapeutic hypothermia, but it failed to lower the 30 to 40 percent mortality rate. One hundred years later, James Currie tried to treat fevers by applying hot,...

“ipsa scientia potestas est”
Toby Fogg talks to Matt McPartlin about the ever growing Airway Registry ANZEDAR
This is FOAMed. Thus there are a lot of people that are nothing short of obsessed with airways. It’s as if humans were primarily a giant “Pass the Parcel” game with a super difficult intubation inside. This will allow us individually to be the airway super-hero that we know we are. Or do we really know?
We don’t have super powers. None of us ...

Let’s talk about Cambodia. Let’s talk to a Cambodian man born in Australia as a result of war. Let’s talk about what one asylum seeking family has given back to both countries.
Sometimes curiosity can take you on an expected journey. Sometimes a mixture of fortune and fate (if such things truly exist) throw opportunities at your feet, though you may not know it at the time.
A journey of self discovery. An offer of help to a group of strangers. An appreciation ...
