Zedu Weekly Wrap - 25 November 2022

It’s been a funny old week…

with a migration to Mastodon kind of foisted on us as Twitter coughs and splutters under the stress introduced by new (questionable) ownership!

Quite the learning curve, but well worth the effort. Where you can say Twitter is an opt-out style stream, Mastodon is a series of interconnected villages (instances) where you opt-in to follow individuals. No algorithm, just connections. We’ll be keeping watch and act brief on the bird site should anything go awry, but be reassured we will do our darnedest to keep contributing to the POCUS/ultrasound community. Be sure to follow us on Mastodon – https://med-mastodon.com/@zedunow

Highlights for this week include a grand rounds YouTube lecture from Dr. Sandy Werner, MD talking about using transvaginal ultrasound in the ED [from @MH_EMultrasound], the latest ediiton of the POCUS Journal is out [@POCUSJournal], and Marcus Peck [@ICUltrasonica] co-chair of the FUSIC committee talks Focussed Cardiac Ultrasound.

That’s all for now – see you in December…

Suean and Mike

It’s finally here! We recorded @ICUltrasonica #POCUS Echo teaching in Oct22.
Whilst the recording is not perfect (laggy echo views, bleeps from people joining in, weird framing), the talk is. Many people who tuned in that day have been asking for a copy. https://t.co/7lpWcQPK2E pic.twitter.com/07Zq2Vrqiv
