Anyone else read the article in the new EM News? Seems like a dangerous precedent to potentially penalize a provider for a negative CTH without protecting us from getting sued for missing a positive one. Also curious what that means with a negative CT and a negative LP in a r/o SAH--my default dx would be HA--etiology unclear. I guess I'll just have to make sure all of my headache patients fall before I CT them so that the dx can be Closed Head Injury instead.
