EMCrit Podcast 172b – MoTR – Get Faster! - a podcast by Scott D. Weingart, MD FCCM

Mind of the Resuscitationist

In a previous wees and lectures, we discussed Chapman's Dictum: smoothness=speed; slow is smooth, smooth is fast



So go slow!

Update

Love this quote brought to my attention by G. Harrison:

When I say that I learned to take my time in a gunfight, I do not wish to be misunderstood, for the time to be taken was only that split fraction of a second that means the difference between deadly accuracy with a sixgun and a miss. It is hard to make this clear to a man who has never been in a gunfight. Perhaps I can best describe such time taking as going into action with the greatest speed of which a man’s muscles are capable, but mentally unflustered by an urge to hurry or the need for complicated nervous and muscular actions which trick-shooting involves. Mentally deliberate, but muscularly faster than thought, is what I mean



--Wyatt Earp

Now I will extol the virtues of getting faster...
