“Give me a 2cc bolus of clot stat Emma. No wait - not there!” But it was too late, and Em-Bolused the 2cc of clot straight to the lungs”. Join the Bloody Minded Crew as they get to the heart… no get to the lungs of the topic of Pulmonary Embolism. VanQuish the V/Q and CriTically aPprAise the CTPA with these acronyms that are just as bad as a cardiology trial and half as useful. Sadly the Top Gun soundtrack is copyrighted but nothing will stop you playing Berlin over the background of the intro (and we’d strongly suggest it).
