Back from a long weekend…

and also catching up post a telecommunications blackout courtesy of a telco that shall go unnamed but rhymes with mop-truss.

With that will quickly get the news out for you – be sure to check out the following this week:

• MetroHealth’s (@MH_EMultrasound) video on lung ultrasound by Matt Tabbut (@mtabbut) (10 November)
• Yake Tung-Chen (@yaletung) on Multi-organ #POCUS as a complement to the diagnostic process in an Internal Medicine outpatient clinic (4 November)

Off to make the most of the beaut summer weather – the weekend is here already!

See you next week …
