Veterinary Clinical Podcasts

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio is Dr Laura Cole one of our fabulous lecturers in Emergency and Critical Care here at the RVC. Laura has passion and enthusiasm for a variety of topics, and we are privileged that she joined us to share her thoughts about the development in POCUS. Ultrasound use for many reasons is being used more frequently in practice and we discuss recent techniques and descriptions. So, if you want to know about shred sign, z lines and curtains, please have a listen. We hope that you enjoy.
