Looking at some of the posts, it appears that there is a general feeling of 'inadequacy' as to what one can do or not... It is quiet clear from the responses that one wants to gain expertise in other surgical specialties so as to function in its own right....(see the thread 'are we being partial....' )

So what competencies would people expect from an ideal 'EM doctor'? What would be it's implications on other specialties? Would these be achievable?

Very much open to the house....
