Dr. Jack LeDonne MD, VA-BC, Dr. Adam Friedlander MD, and Dennis Woo RN, VA-BC discuss vascular access practice.
Our physician partners are the top of the food chain in medicine. We look up to them and respect their knowledge. Conversely, we scratch our heads at their practice in vascular access!
Why are they blindly poking groins? Why are they still suturing lines? Why are they still placing blind? What about those ugly IJ’s inserted high in the neck whose extension tubing is like a hair accessory?
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
