What is Life in the Fast Lane?

LITFL is a Medical Blog and website dedicated to providing online emergency medicine and critical care insights and education for everyone, everywhere...usually with a healthy dose of UCEM good humour, and always with endless enthusiasm.
Our Team, headed by Mike + Chris, consists (mostly) of emergency physicians, toxicologists and intensivists based in Australia and New Zealand.
LITFL is free and open to all --- we invite you to use our content in anyway that helps others learn, all we ask is that you spread the word about the eLearning revolution!
