Scott, Scott, Scott, Where did your mother and I go wrong? Really? The old >65 and witnessed arrest =->50% had PE? Read this study in about 2009, it was crap then, and it is now recycled crap. Don’t have the full study in front of me, but even from the abstract it is clear that this is one of those “If I publish something, I can get more funding” studies. Don’t get me wrong, I like Dr. Kline’s work, I think he’s done amazing things for PE in Emergency Medicine. This article isn’t one of them. Where to start? Well… Read more »

Thanks Minh for always defending me, but Mike has been one of my best peer reviewers since the beginning. Mike–keep on doing what you are doing. You always keep me in line or make me think. You should have no fear about continuing to do so just as you always have.

If I offended, I apologize.

Scott, you skipped the best one!
“I think owning a dog reduces risk of venous thromboembolism among otherwise high-risk patients. I’m going to figure out how to test that.”
