    Scott,
    I’ve followed emcrit for a number of years, and many times have found your advice to be life-saving, both figuratively and proverbially. In the back of the ambulance or helicopter, things you’ve said have popped into my head often. It’s only been recently that I’ve taken an interest in the FOAM movement. Coming from a paramedicine background, I’m a little reluctant to “participate” in said movement. I’m not a physician, or even a mid-level practitioner. I realize you can’t speak on behalf of the movement, but I do value your opinion. How do you see the future in regards to participation of paramedics and critical care nurses in the FOAM network?

      As a junior EM resident I would say it is super important! Everyone involved in critical care/EM needs to be involved to get the right input. Doctors only do one part, and frequently miss important things as well. The more competence and involvement from everyone around the better. To decrease the hierarchy is really important to increase patient safety, and of course, workplace satisfaction! We are all supposed to be one team, doctors from different specialities, as well as every other health care worker involved!
