'pseudo experts' giving talks on subjects they dont know much about is not a problem only in india- it happens in uk aswell. the govt appointed czar of healthcare in uk is a cardiothoracic surgeon who has proposed a variety of measures to improve emergency services and primary care- he has never worked in either fields!!

maybe the society for emergency medicine/nepi should bring out an official document on disaster management and send these to various places- medical colleges, health ministers etc etc

maybe some of us could form a dedicated committee to bring out such emergency medicine related documents of relevance to india.
