title: Changing my perspective: How the development of emergency medicine in Sri Lanka can inform the Australasian experience.
abstract: When compared to an Australasian ED, the two major differences in the emergency medicine practice at Teaching Hospital Karapitiya are which patients are selected at triage and how those selected present. These differences have caused me to reflect on emergency medicine practice in Australasia and wonder if this practice is sustainable.
