Happy end of financial year…

as usual there’s always the mad rush to meet the needs of the taxman, the paperwork (who uses paper), the invoices, the spreadsheets!

Gosh – who knew that teaching ultrasound meant you had to understand the intricacies of depreciation schedules…

Before my head explodes in a puff of PAYG payments, why not review the week’s news and take a look at:

• Eduardo R Argaiz (@ArgaizR) and team’s article ‘Portal Vein Doppler is a sensitive marker for evaluating venous congestion in End Stage Kidney Disease’ (26 June)
• SAEM (@SAEMonline) who’s latest SAEMPulse finds that “The greatest medicolegal risk for POCUS appears to be the failure to perform POCUS scans that are clinically indicated and within the ACEP ultrasound compendium.” (24 June)

 

Righto – in the words of George Harrison – better pay the taxman!

See you next week
