Scott – great podcast. Now if you can find a way to convince the cardiologist that sick patients can undergo echocardiography at the bedside at 2am.
It seems very reasonable to send sick patients to CT, if properly prepared. Possibly creating a hospital protocol for these types of patients.

I love this topic. I loathe suspending appropriate patient care due to geography. Absolutely take the sick patient to CT, but be prepared.
