The Nihilistic Ramblings of Rory Spiegel, MD

The Case of the Thirteen Watches

September 7, 2013 by Rory Spiegel 3 Comments

Door-to-balloon time is probably the most overstated, but least understood surrogate outcome measured in Emergency Medicine today. No sooner does the patient with midsternal chest pressure and ST elevations set foot in the emergency department, when they are packaged up and swept away to the cath lab by a gang of cardiology fellows and attendings.
