Tearing down the silos in Critical Care Medicine

After a rousing start from Scott Weingart at SMACC2013, John Myburgh, Intensivist from StGeorge in Sydney raised the issue of “silos” in Critical Care Medicine.  Why do we still see ourselves as such distinct specialties, who “play on different teams”, who are antagonistic, who often lose the focus of the patient as the most important thing in the resus room? What do you think of “silos”, and how can we all learn to work better together for the best outcome for the patient. Should we all just be called “Resuscitationists” as Scott suggested?
