Don't they want to get a chest tube in despite no needle was placed and no blood or air gushed out of the finger wound? How were you able to overcome the surgical dept's bias to cut, and not persue chest tube placement? --Jose Torres from NYHQ ED, Flushing, NYC Do you ever get flack from surgery/trauma surgeons about performing the finger thoracostomy?

I spend a lot of my time flying in aircraft on the way to a remote clinic or evacuating a patient from remote area. Yesterday whilst flying between base and a clinic I listened to your podcasts on trauma and asthma. As a free service you provide I applaud you for extending this quality CME information to providers of emergency medicine and critical care. Dr Minh Le Cong RFDS Cairns base Dear Scott
