International Spinal Immobilization Forum

As a result of my passion for everything emergency medicine, I have developed a new full body immobilization device that is truly revolutionary (all personal ego blowing biases aside). Engineering is moving forward full speed and I do my best to make sure that I have thought of everything that should considered. Due to time restrictions associated with my professional and social obligations, I do not get a chance to browse the web as much as I should. However, whenever I do, I always discover something new and intriguing. There must be a better way to monitor the developments occuring around the world. I just visited the EMS Today Conference and Expo in Baltimore, Maryland thinking that I would uncover the world's great immobilization secrets, but was very disappointed (although I suppose that I should be excited that I did not find anything that poses a new challenge for my product). I know that participation in these trade shows is limited to those who can afford to attend and those who feel that attendance is worth the investment (lodging $$$, travel $$$, entertainment $$$, food $$$, dry cleaning from Hooters sauce on new polo $$, etc.), but there must be one single source where everyone shows their cards. Of course, my dream cannot become a reality due to the threat of jet setting web surfing innovative thought stealing trolls who know that the average little guy cannot afford to protect his intellectual property from infringement across the pond or somewhere around the world, or in their backyard, for that matter. However, there must be a safe haven somewhere on this planet where guys like me can share ideas and introduce great solutions for the folks on the street and in the hospital. If you know the GPS coordinates, please let me know.

Who is MacGyver124?

I suppose that I should be honest and tell you that the stimulus for creating this blog came from a frustrating endeavor to locate and identify MacGyver124. MacGyver124's posts can be found throughout the trauma and emergency medicine blogosphere and he/she has very compelling arguments regarding many issues that are very important to me. The problem is that many of MacGyver124's posts are old and my responses to his posts have not generated any feedback. Any assistance to this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Cigar Anyone?

I have always thought about creating a blog, because I read them often, although not as often as I'd like, and always seem to have a hard time finding what I am looking for. Nevertheless, my blog was born today and I look forward to sharing thoughts with you.
