Worth a read.

A well written article on the natural clinical development of POCUS and how it continues to integrate in actual practice and acumen.

Robbie describes something I suspect we all naturally now do.

The next step is how to teach this

The challenge is how to govern it.

@rcemlearning.bsky.social there is potentially some outdated information in your Acute Aortic Dissection module (last updated 2023) on the subject of dissection/haemopericardium. Obviously a controversial topic but I've flagged in the below blog post. Might be worth a look/revision. Cheers!

UK EM friends… I have just taken on the role of POCUS lead for my new ED. Anyone out there with same role willing to have a virtual (MS teams) coffee and give me some tips? I’d be hugely grateful. Keen to do the job well and sustainably (and love POCUS of course). @rcem.bsky.social

In case you missed it - the cognitive forcing strategy I employ EVERY time I review the ECG of a patient with palpitations or syncope

Don’t want to miss subtle signs of risk of sudden cardiac death, and I don’t trust my fallible primate brain

EVERY. TIME.
