Choose Emergency Medicine
One of my favourite tweets from #smaccGOLD was the re-invigoration of the Emergency Medicine mission statement and recruitment flyer (via @4hrEmergencyDoc)
…which is a slight reworking of the original Aussie Emergency medicine mission statement used in the 2007 UCEM recruitment campaign (via @wgbrook and @fratdoozle)
…the matching scrubs hit a cord but as @jilltomlinson espoused…surgeons even get to wear matching hats as well!!
This is what @JoeLex5 thinks of that idea! (I assume the non-compliant soul on the ground is an emergency physician…)
…and obviously the rest of critical care want in on the action with @PulmCrit producing a very sensible version (far too sensible for any ED physician to take seriously…)
