b'Mark Wilson; Neurosurgeon, Retrieval Physician, App Designer, Sceptic and Gentleman. It is hard not to like this chap. \\n\\nMark Wilson somehow found time to talk to Matt McPartlin at SMACC. He really had an awful lot to do in Dublin too. Mark was presenting, fighting, drinking, dancing, facing his PhDemons and listening to @Kangaroodoc, all of which are frankly exhausting. But then he was asking for trouble by being so good at everything and even better at certain sexy media friendly matters.\\n\\nMark knows concussion like very few people ever will. He is a neurosurgeon that gets down and dirty in the streets of London with the paramedics as a Retrieval Physician. He invents apps that go huge and actually save people lives. He has essentially created a way of real-time crowd-sourcing a medic when you really really want one.\\n\\nI wish I could do that. \\n\\nMark is the main person behind the GoodSAM app which as been reviewed by Tessa Davis here on LITFL.\\n\\n(Link to be pasted over\\u201d GoodSAM app which as been reviewed by Tessa Davis\\u201d http://lifeinthefastlane.com/techtool-thursday-050-goodsam/ ) \\n\\nLots of us have little moments of App inspiration but Mark has done it. It is free so it is genuine #FOAMed. It is also much more in that; it mobilises an entire community of volunteer responders which crosses the divide between clinician and non-clinician. The follow up is interesting too. Mark released this App back in 2014. Being one of the more successful Apps it really didn\\u2019t end there. The app is now in version 5. It has a life of its own and Mark still maintains it, updates it, promotes it, fixes it up when problems arise. It is an ongoing concern. \\n\\nHave a listen to Mark and Matt, have a look at https://goodsamapp.org and have a think about getting involved.'
