Yet another turnaround week this week.

Back downs on two fronts – as Victoria again manages to tread the line controlling covid, and with Facebook rescinding on their news ban.

Plenty of POCUS and ultrasound pearls this week, including a new Intersocietal Position Statement on ‘Disinfection of Ultrasound Transducers Used for Percutaneous Procedures’ and robots controlled by soundwaves. The machines are rising….

And our trivial animal ultrasound of the week is a sloth – check it out.

See you next week

Suean and Mike

P.S. –  check out the recording of the first #coachingcorner for 2021  – the RUSH protocol.
