#FOAMed

I want to let you into a secret. I’m an impostor.

Coagulopathy is well known to be a significant issue in the ED. There is increasing awareness that the early awareness, detection and management of coagulation problems is important for ED management, but it's tricky.

A few days ago I returned home to the UK from Australia after a brief sojorn in Hong Kong and it's time to think back and consider what SMACCGold meant to me and to ask myself just why it felt so different. Rather surprisingly, perhaps, the person who best summed SMACC Gold up in my mind wasn’t one of the high profile speakers, it wasn’t even another clinician, but one of the waiting staff in the conference venue.

The major results?

'Imagine #FOAMed'

What's your weapon of choice then???
