Happy Birthday, Emergiblog!

Today marks the fourth year anniversary of Emergiblog, a delightful collection of Emergency Medicine musings by nurse Kim McAllister.

Kim doesn’t know this, but I use excerpts from Emergiblog when I teach blogging courses to healthcare execs. Her writing is a favorite with them - and when I ask what kind of person they think she might be (judging from her blog) they say things like:

“An experienced nurse with a heart of gold.”

“Someone who’s seen it all and still kept her marbles.”

“I want her to be my nurse when I show up in the ER.”

I agree with all those sentiments… and I wish you a very happy blogiversary, Kim! I’ll see you in Las Vegas*
