The Edna Files: Medical and Moral Ethics
We were discussing a case where a patient did a health screen overseas which included a 2D echocardiogram. The 2DE suggested some mild abnormalities, and the patient was given the choice of doing a coronary angiogram. Eventually a PTCA was done, where two vessels (40-50% stenosed) were stented. (!!!)

Later, at the lounge…
