Also, EM is a lot of individuals. If you've noticed, a lot of IM's and surgeons are like the same person carbon copied. A gazillion people will come and say, "We're all different", yada, yada, but, at the end of the day, medicine sits around and thinks a lot, surgery does a REAL lot and thinks a little, but EM is a bunch of individuals that we will all tell each other we're a bunch of a**holes or nice guys, trade war stories, go home, then do it again. There are a lot of opinions in EM, just like anywhere, but I think that those here are more diverse, and more readily accessible (vs. some of the very esoteric you might see elsewhere), so EM stays vibrant - just like we get at work.
Hmm...not too literate, but, my point is that EM people think and do, and aren't afraid to say what is on their minds. Everybody takes a piece of this, and a piece of that, and develops their own style - and that's the essence of EM.
Oh damn! I didn't see who the OP was! What the hell - I'm preaching to the choir!
So, in other words, umm...too much time on our hands!
