Surprised he objects to LOC + anticoags, as they don't seem to mind doing
them.

Subject: missed fractures in A/E and a bit about NICE
Thanks to all of you who responded on and off line. I thought it came into
the category of a question easy to ask but difficult to answer sensibly. I
am not even sure the asker would understand the differences between
fractures. If we just give them figures they seem happy because everyone can
tell the difference between big numbers and little numbers.
If nobody objects maybe I could just forward all of your responses??
Now, NICE guidelines. Our Radiology manager has agreed to most of the
indications for scan within one hour but has objected to :- a) Knocked out
plus age>65
b) Knocked out plus on anticlogs
Note that this is the manager because the radiologists have so far declined
even to talk about it.
How goes it in the rest of the country?
