This week’s Archives of Internal Medicine investigates what happens when you analyze the outcome of all those pulmonary angiographic CTs ordered in the emergency department to rule out pulmonary embolism.

We talk things over with Dr. Shannon Carson and Dr. William Hall, two of the paper’s principal authors.

It’s Thanksgiving Week here in the U.S., and so there won’t be a news section in this edition. I’ll catch you up next week on what’s happened.

I hope your holiday is pleasant, if you get one, and your workload reasonable, if you don’t.
