Why did I start this?

When I was studying for various prehospital and retrieval medical examinations, I could not find any single resource that was helpful. For emergency medicine, Life in the Fast Lane is excellent. For anaesthetics and intensive care, Deranged Physiology is similarly well-respected.

So, I am trying to create a similar resource - a ‘one-stop-shop’ that will help students of the discipline, across the world, to study for these exams.

Why the name?

When I was a part of EMICS, my East Midlands Ambulance Service callsign was Romeo Delta 78. The ‘RD’ stands for ‘Response Doctor’. This is my small tribute to the great work EMICS does every day.
