disagree with this “triangle of saftey” nonsense

in morbid obesity or cardiomegaly, this location could be dangerous (eg, diaphragm can be really high)

Created a Starter Pack for top medical journals on Bluesky. As more journals join, it will be updated, but to keep it manageable, the list is capped at 20. I’ll repost it with every major update.

Striving to keep it as relevant as possible to the field of medicine.
