Subject: Re: Xanthochromia
So, a low risk (CT negative) patient appears to have a ~1% chance of SAH. Multiply this by a potential lawsuit of millions, not to mention being eviscerated in the Daily Mail for not offering a "simple and cheap test, which could have prevented this tragedy" (their imagined words). I don't like those odds.
On the other hand, the argument for not offering a 24/7 service would be what? (And "next morning" might be fine for most of the year, but could be four days if it's a bank holiday weekend.)
Regards
Paul
