@GongGasGirl I think instead of thinking of learning to use ultrasound for x procedure, we should think of "learning ultrasound skills" period. Once the physics associated with the technology is understood and the hand-eye coordination learned, the info is applicable in all procedures
@GongGasGirl I pull it out of my toolbox if I need it. But for routine IVs, optimal vein preparation and ergonomics usually do the trick. Ultrasound in my institution still means having to wheel a machine over wires across hallways.
@DocSchmadia @Jimmy_Yan That's exactly what I thought of when I saw the headline. The government is taking further steps to vilify docs and shifting the blame. When it's time to recoup financial losses, this will be a piece of their smear campaign to justify why physicians and surgeons are the big bad
@McGinnRyan I'm confused by the assertion. That's like saying a hammer is better than a mallet. Both do similar things, but there are situations when either will be more useful than the other. Further, why make a statement that disparages people who practice differently? #toxic#MedTwitter
