How about you clowns post up your credentials...

I am 46. I have been doing this a long time. And it wasn't just the confusion. Elevated BP and headache along with the confusion. The CT was certainly warranted.

I am not here to make the CT tech's life easier. They perform the study that I order regardless if they feel it isn't needed. They are lazy for the most part, and don't want to do any of the studies ordered.

You are absolutely correct. Not performing a CT in that setting with that history is begging for a lawsuit.

You rule it out.

CTA Brain from the ER. C'mon man. Ct of the head. Then schedule CTA as outpatient.

ETA. But you are right I would have done it anyway. Lol

Simmer down. I called you young. You should be happy. Not testy. I'm an ER nurse who has been at it a while.

Nobody chuckled at a CT. We chuckled at a CTA.

You showed your hand here. They hate you. For a multitude of reasons. Are you the kind of doc who orders $5,000 worth of tests while your arm is on the doorframe of the exam room.

I'd be willing to bet 180/75 was the lowest BP in the ER at that time.
