Medicine is an imperfect science, and the care delivered to patient's can be incredibly nuanced, and sometimes there will be poor outcomes. You will find that I will be meticulous and honest in my review of the case. I will strive to deliver a well researched and candid opinion.

Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in Emergency Medicine
Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is unique to the practice of emergency medicine. It is NOT an ultrasound read by a remote radiologist who does not know the patient's condition. POCUS is an ultrasound done by the provider at the patient's bedside. Did your client perform one that made the diagnosis but was not stored because of a problem with the machine, the ultrasound software, or the electronic medical records? Multiple points in the POCUS process can go awry. I can help you to support your client.
I have personally performed and also reviewed over 5, 000 POCUS exams in the last six years to identify many critical medical conditions including myocardial infarction, thoracic and abdominal aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, and septic shock. I have used POCUS to prevent procedure-related complications. My significant experience in emergency medicine POCUS will benefit you and your client.
