Physician shortages ..#RuralBC emergency departments https://www.westernstandard.news/features/in-depth-physician-shortages-wreaking-havoc-on-rural-bc-emergency-departments/57237 “#Healthcare woes are an all too familiar reality for rural #BritishColumbians, with residents of many small towns growing accustomed to hearing that their local hospitals are struggling to keep up with the needs of the community.

August 1, 2024 - President's Letter | #AlbertaMedicalAssociation https://www.albertadoctors.org/services/media-publications/presidents-letter/pl-archive/no-answer-to-our-sos “There is no imminent help to keep #RuralGeneralist physicians in their clinics – not to mention the #RuralHospitals that utterly depend on their presence to run #EmergencyDepartments. Meanwhile, #AcuteCare, gutted by the pandemic, has been overwhelmed by increased illness and complex disease in patients…Our colleagues have continually been told to do more with less and just make it work.”

Is this concept clear to your trainees/ residents? And to your colleagues as well? I'm hearing too often "no signs of PE on bedside echo": that's an element to consider, yes, but that's not a definitive test of exclusion..
