Big thanks to @OlszynskiP for organizing this collaborative, multidisciplinary response to @CARadiologists problematic #POCUS position statement Endorsed by @CAEP_Docs @CAEP_EUC @ACEP_EUS @CASUpdate @ceus_scedu @critcaresociety @SCUFellowships @ePOCUS journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
It's 2019, yet radiologists @CARadiologists still want to tell us how to use #POCUS So many problems with this "position statement"/opinion piece, not the least, the lack of evidence for many of their statements @CAEP_EUC @CAEP_Docs @ACEP_EUS @SAEMAEUS @ePOCUS @SCUFellowships

Why should you do an ultrasound fellowship? It'll help you get hired! Per 2014 article, Ultrasound is the most desirable fellowship academic EM chairs look at when hiring new attending physicians @SCUFellowships @ACEP_EUS @SAEMAEUS doi.org/10.1016/j.jemermed.2… #POCUS #EMsono

Day 7 of my inpatient service & number 7 of my #BreadNButterMedicine #MedThreads. Today, Hemodilution! I’m no expert & I don't routinely administer large volumes of IV resuscitation fluids like my EM & trauma colleagues. But, I do give maintenance fluids to many patients. – at Ohio, USA
