Resus, high BP, on Isoket- stable patient?

Doesn't seem reasonable to send the patient for ultrasound that'll take >30mins in an isolated area with no crash cart around.

But of course that doesn't stop them from accusing radiology side of refusing scan. DVT triumphs over hypertension urgency/ emergency?

Oh well, be rude all you want- MRI for cord compression triumphs. At least this vertebral mass needs urgent decompression so that patient will regain muscle power rather than 0/5.

BTW Dr ?P, Dr. S - your colleague was the one who cancelled the scan coz she said patient is not stable- not me. Do get your facts right before being rude to a fellow colleague.
