Oh come on, surely you must have public health/international
health/ophthalmology mailing lists that you could torment instead of us!? I
just don't buy your argument that emergency medicine "fits very well" with
the subjects you've highlighted below.
AF
P.S. We have this attitude "in microcosm" in our everyday practice: if in
doubt, patients will pitch up in our departments with just about anything
vaguely quasi medical and expect us to deal with it. It annoys me just as
much then...
