Welcome to the PICUList
Overview Anyone with an interest in pediatric critical care is welcome - nurses, students, residents, staff, private practitioners, academicians, surgeons, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, medical industrialists, etc., included. If the list ever gets too large, we can celebrate, congratulate each other, and then divide. For now, the more the merrier. Topics can include about anything relevant to PICU care. Administrative problems, political concerns, rare disorders, ethical dilemmas, common problems with a dozen equally disappointing therapies, or informal surveys are all fair game for discussion. The World Wide Web sites with which PICUList is affiliated are PedsCCM ( http://PedsCCM.org ), and VPICU ( http://www.vpicu.org ). PICUList Etiquette 1) Be civil or funny, as you wish, but try to ensure that humor accompanies a posting of substance, and does not take on a life of its own. 2) When replying to a previous message, try NOT to copy, into your own reply, the ENTIRE message to which you are responding. It is helpful if you include part of the original message. 3) Keep private replies off the list - only send to "PICUList" what is fit for an international community of more than two thousand people to read and ponder. The humorous personal exchange and the "send me a copy of your protocol" message are excellent examples of what not to do. 4) Don't identify patients. 5) Do identify yourself - "sign" the message with your name as you wish to be addressed (e.g. "Carl"), followed by, at a minimum, your full name and e-mail address. This can be set up as an automatic "signature." 6) Anything said on this list is discoverable in court, we think. So it would be prudent to keep this assumption in mind. 7) Anything said on this list could wind up on the front page of a newspaper someday, so keep this in mind too. This is clearly not a goal for the group, but it really could happen. 8) Have fun anyways :-) 9) Make the "Subject:" line accurately describe your note's content, e.g.: 10) Originators of short-answer type surveys should place, at the top and bottom of the survey, a reminder to respondents to send their answers privately to the survey originator, NOT to the full PICUList. Survey originators should send a summary of the results back to the list. 11) Don't post chain letters to PICUList. They create huge headaches for the list owner. 12) A signature file should be a part of your e-mail program setup, to print out after all of your postings. At a minimum, it should include your name and e-mail address, and it is nice if it includes a litle of who and where you are, perhaps with telephone and fax numbers. 13) Advertisements of educational meetings or job openings are acceptable (with a clear and accurate "Subject:" line). Job openings must be posted directly by the group with the opening - listings by professional headhunter firms are not acceptable. Product sales or investment ads are not acceptable, whether public (on the list) or private (off the list, but using the ================================= You can use the new PICUList via the Web or via email. You will see that the Web interface provides far more functionality to the end user than does email. You may prefer to continue receiving messages by email, and may also prefer to reply by email, but you will need to use the Web for most other functions, including managing your own subscription, and for browsing or searching old messages. One new feature, threaded archives on the Web site, is worth mentioning as it could affect the way you choose to reply to a digest (if you are a digest user). If you reply via the WWW forum, or if you reply via email to a single message (i.e. not a digest) from the new PICUList, your reply will appear on the Web site within the thread identified by the original message's Subject line. If, however, you reply by email to the digest, you will create a new thread named "Re: PICUList Digest xxxx", so your reply will be disconnected from those that remain in the thread. -------------------------------------------------- * To subscribe * Click on the link "Subscribe to the PICUList". * To log into the PICUList forum * Click on the link "Forum Login" * To change your password (after PICUList login) * Click on the link "Change Password" * To post a new message, i.e. start a new thread (after PICUList login) * Click on the link "PICUList" in the column titled "Name" * To reply to message thread (after PICUList login) * Click on the link "PICUList" in the column titled "Name" * To UNSUBSCRIBE (after PICUList login) * Click on the link "PICUList" in the column titled "Name" * To get PICU mail lumped into one big message a day (after PICUList login) * Click on the link "PICUList" in the column titled "Name" * To get PICU mail to stop, without unsubscribing (after PICUList login) * Click on the link "My profile" * To change your subscription email address (after PICUList login) * Click on the link "My profile" * To get help * Click on the "Help", "FAQs", or "Contact Admin" link at top right ---------------------------- * To SUBSCRIBE * From the email address you wish to subscribe with, * To post a new message * Send mail to the all subscribers, by sending an email message to * To post a public reply to a prior message * Use the "Reply All" function of your email client * To post a private reply to a prior message * Use the "Reply" function of your email client
