Have you noticed that on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", asking the audience as a lifeline almost always results in the right answer (over 90% of the time)?
Dr. David Thorisson (Lund University, Scandinavia) recently approached me with a novel idea of doing the same for Emergency Medicine questions. These questions are currently posted to a public Google Docs document, which allows anyone to post and answer questions.

Some questions already posted include:
- Can you share your tips for distinguishing between paroxysmal SVT & atrial fibrillation (when the rate is regular)?
- What are the contraindications to low-dose ketamine (0.1-0.5 mg/kg) for sedation or agitation?
- What is an accepted rate of miss for 1) ACS 2) PE 3) SA 4) Aortic dissection 5) C-spine fractures (requiring and not requiring treatment)?
