  5. @MDaware @movinmeat does a percent risk really mean anything to the individual?
  6. @symtym @movinmeat a consistent low risk practice is probably significantly easier to manage with small numbers, few sites
  7. @movinmeat I think another important factor is how many providers (physicians and midlevels) do you have in play, across how many sites?
  8. @MDaware @movinmeat the question then is a 1% risk acceptable to your insurance carrier? wonder if you are self-insured?
  9. @MDaware @movinmeat yep, the power of negative persuasion—never happens ;)
  10. @movinmeat probably a number similar to how many parents are "induced" out of an LP for their febrile 1 month old; it happens
  11. @movinmeat yep we have corporate policies on several high risk scenarios,e.g., HA that gets a CT; testicular pain, vag bleed in preg, etc.
  12. @movinmeat another one of those great test in EM, what is the value of a negative test? like an EKG
  13. @movinmeat the key is why did you do the CT? if SAH, then a -CT is not definitive regardless of the "risk" or exam
  14. @movinmeat yes, LP after -CT by policy; if you embark down the SAH road, you must finish
