litfl.com/ecg-library/ This is by far the best website for anything ECG. Whenever I read something that is new to me I just look it up on their website and read their straight-to-the-point articles. Check it our for anybody interested (they even have 150 ECG questions!)

How do you examine for Murphy's sign? The "Murphy's sign" most commonly used in clinical practice bears little resemblance to John B Murphy's original 1903 description, in which the patient is seated upright. instagram.com/p/CZrkJwCvZ98/ #FOAMed

Thanks for the new follow. In Japan, "Life in the FAST LANE" is very popular among EKG fans. Thank you very much for your support.

Rovsing sign - do you elicit this correctly? True Rovsing sign - pressure applied to left colon in an antiperistaltic manner, attempting to distend caecum/appendix. The left hand is pressed into the LIF, the right hand sweeps up towards splenic flexure. instagram.com/p/CZOkjUlL8tK/…

Therefore you may see “reciprocal changes” in pericarditis or ER, if the heart is too much vertical. See here: litfl.com/ecg-case-127/ Courtesy of @rob_buttner

You’ll all be hearing how overwhelmed the emergency departments are and that isn’t an exaggeration BUT should you need to come see us, never feel that you shouldn’t/can’t. We’ll look after you or point you in the direction of where you need to be.

@rob_buttner Emergency Trainee from Melbourne who has put his passion and energy to teaching ECGs ; his posts (i believe he is the curator of ECGS) on @LITFLblog on ECGs are gold
