This week – a week to celebrate.

After over a year of not being able to teach onsite, we had the opportunity to go on hospital campus and introduce a group of enthusiastic and eager ED registrars to the joy of ultrasound. And boy – does absence make the heart grow fonder. Had a great time and everyone left re-energised having had no on site face-to-face teaching for so long.

Another week choc-full of free ultrasound news goodies. Check out @PratsEM on transcranial Doppler, and @G2Disrupt review of the accuracy of lung ultrasound in covid. Great stuff!

And our trivial animal ultrasound of the week is a Phoebe that elephant at Columbus Zoo – you’d have to wind up the PEN on this one!

See you next week

Suean and Mike

P.S. – had a fun #coachingcorner last night – the recording will be up soon – in the meantime check out the back catalogue of videos anytime on our website.

P.P.S – keep an eye out for our #whatsthatfood scanning quiz on your favourite social channel – a bit of fun each week

The answer’s grapes🍇
Did you get it right? Hopefully we don’t incur your wrath 😁

Turns out hydatidiform molar pregnancy bears little resemblance after all!
