Excited for our @SAAFP1 Pre-Conference PoCUS workshop, led by @GusiPocus with local Family Physician trainers. I’ll be there to take many selfies. So come join on 6 Sept in Cape Town! #FMPoCUS #PoCUS

Safe POCUS requires that one can articulate the pre-test probability which justifies the scan, and the positive and negative likelihood ratios of that specific POCUS exam performed. POCUS without a basic understanding of Bayesian clinical decision making is perhaps dangerous.

Study findings do not support the treatment of elevated inpatient blood pressures in hospitalized older adults without evidence of end organ damage and highlight the need for randomized clinical trials of inpatient blood pressure treatment targets. ja.ma/3NXGLWV

A good reminder for myself, to scan all the way through to the apex. This little dude was trying to hide from me. Also some pretty smoke / spontaneous echo contrast. #PoCUS #FMPoCUS #EchoFirst

@Doc_Megz @TAKEALOT Their “listing price” that they base their discount claims on are never accurate

Sneaky, @TAKEALOT - this item has been R499 for the past month. This isn’t 35% off YOUR price. This is why South Africans don’t truly benefit from “black Friday”.

Mid 20s female with a couple of recent presentations of abdo pain and vomiting. Always normal bloods, vitals and exam. Labelled as dramatic. Quick PoCUS changes disposition! Such a pretty gallstone and acoustic shadow. #FMPoCUS #PoCUS
