I actually quite like the system where CTs are discussed with radiology because it leads to knowing your radiology colleagues more and having high level discussions about complex cases eg 'what is the best contrast phase for us to answer zyx question'.
I think it will be really interesting to see larger, multicentre studies (as suggested in their pilot study conclusion) to see if there are differences in different centres and as you say, impacted by the type of centre. I have worked in tertiary EDs with both approaches.
Good article @laurajoycenz.bsky.social
If a medication has cardiac effects eg negative chronotropic/inotropic action, is it defined as a cardiac med even if that is not what it is being prescribed for? (eg propanolol used in mental health or migraine). These are some of the worse ODs I've seen

Thank you for the reminder Ryan.

Be nice if the government looked at funding it for high risk groups (unlikely with the current government, but one can hope)
I don't really understand. Is a subscription different to a follow. What does a subscription entail. And what does it then give.
Interesting article. This raises many questions which can not be definitively answered by this study, but this is an important conversation to be had.
IMO, Metacognition and awareness of our cognitive biases can help address them longer term

This is also why we need to continue to push the government to adequately fund primary care so that GP care is accessible to patients

Happy to share an invited article I wrote looking at what
#EM in Australasia can learn from the #NHS for Emergency Medicine Australasia.
