Extreme EM

In my more idealistic moments, I often imagine myself working as an emergency physician for Doctors Without Borders at some point in the future (i.e. decades from now when I finally pay off my student debt).

While in one of my "save the world" moods recently, I came across the blog of an ER doc doing exactly that - working for MSF in Pakistan. Makes the chaos of the Big City ED seem pretty tame by comparison.
