Great discussion of the biases and conflicted interests of medical publication. Here is a fun little news story about one of the predatory journals, which we didn’t even get into. Looking forward to another conference dedicated to reading the literature.

I also meant to introduce everyone present to Belinda Yff, our medical librarian. Not only is she invaluable for assistance with literature search, but she completely caters to the Emergency Physician’s unrealistic expectations of rapid results. She completes and sends me literature searches in a matter of minutes to hours, and can borrow articles from other libraries when we do not have access.

I would strongly recommend everyone saving Belinda’s information and asking for her help with research interests and lecture preparation. Her email address is belinda.yff@louisville.edu.
