# About Us
Ben is a long term Intensive Care devotee of 10 years having been lured back to ACRRM in 2023 by the combination of variety and lifestyle. He began his journey in after working with [Casey Parker](https://broomedocs.com/) and the amazing crew in Broome all the way back in 2013.
He has had a very long walk through ICU to ACRRM and the RGA having started in Paediatric ICU in 2012. He subsequently spent 10 years in Paediatric and Adult ICU across 8 different ICUs and all ICU specialties. Most recently, his interest in Retrieval Medicine has helped him reopen the box of treasures that is Rural General Practice up in Far North Queensland.\
\
He has recently repatriated from across the ditch in Wellington and currently lives in Cairns with his beautiful wife, their three kids and a mischievous labrador named Sunny.
Ben's interests are in physiological variability, mathematics, big data, paediatrics and retrieval. He completed his PhD in Mathematics in 2005 and was a Clinical and Research Fellow in Wellington ICU in 2021. He was a Principle Investigator on the MAGIC study into Post-op cardiothoracic surgical vasoplegia and is the PI on the STARVE trial into fasting protocols for patients on GLP-1 RAs.
Ben founded and continues to dabble with [www.cicmwrecks.com](https://bens-disorganisation.gitbook.io/anzca-rga-notes/www.cicmwrecks.com) which is one of most popular primary exam resources for ICU trainees. He has spoken on the national first part education program for CICM since its inception and has presented his research at national and international conferences.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://bens-disorganisation.gitbook.io/anzca-rga-notes/publish-your-docs.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
