Slow Spike-Wave @phluaria.bsky.social · 11/09/2024When patients say "that should be in your records" it is tempting to point out that different hospital systems rarely play well with record sharing but I'm a little scared to admit the real reason I'm asking them for the details of their illness is because I don't always believe the records 000

Slow Spike-Wave @phluaria.bsky.social · 21/12/2023Consider this a reminder that EEG as an ancillary test for brain death is a bad idea. You need to show 30 min of absolutely NO potentials above 2 µV with a double-distance montage. Good luck with that. 000
