Sticky eyes in kids... Dead easy to treat, right?

Podcast - An introduction to caring for the patient with asthma in the Emergency Department

I was recently at the Trauma Care UK conference in Telford. As ever, it's a great bunch of people working hard to improve trauma management in the UK.

It's no secret that I'm a fan of ketamine and its clinical applications. So when I spotted this paper in my daily PubMed notification email (see here for tips from the St Emlyn's team on how to set these up) I was immediately interested.

This week we got the wake up call from the SMACC organising committee. It's time to have our slides and presentations ready for the greatest conference ever on emergency medicine, critical care and prehospital care.

Emergency medicine in the UK is frequently cited by the British media as being like a warzone, and with that in mind I delved back into one my favourite books. It certainly isn’t a modern book and I very much doubt it was written with EM in mind, but there are lessons we can learn from it.
