To those of us who have been following the healthcare debate, emergency physician advocacy has never been more important. Especially with all of the disinformation and downright falsehoods flying around.
That's why I urge you to click on this ACEP link: http://www.emergencymedicinerealities.com/
Once you're there you can use a variety of links and media options to let your colleagues, friends, and family know the realities of accessing emergency care - and the importance of ensuring that whatever healthcare reform package sees the light of day, it's reflects positively on emergency medicine.
There's also a link that let's you contact the Congress regarding emergency medicine issues. And as we know by the recent news about the healthcare overhaul, advocating for important issues about emergency medicine has never been more timely or important.
Please let me know if you have some favorite sites or links that you use for advocacy purposes. We're all in this together. And the more we communicate as emergency healthcare professionals the louder our voice will be!
