smaccGOLD is all the RAGE
The entire RAGE team were at smaccGOLD, and we loved every minute of it.
Of course, Cliff Reid stole the show as per usual with his talk on ‘When should resuscitation stop?” (look out for it on the SMACC podcast in the coming months) but all the RAGE team made huge contributions to the critical care conference of the millennium.
This was the first time the entire RAGE team were in one place at the same time – rather than connected via Skype over the Internet – so we took the chance to record some audio. We managed to include a few friends too… Though, as always, the best bits will probably have to be edited out 😉
Look out for the next RAGE podcast featuring these SMACCers:
