Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Most U.K. medical tribunals conclude well within five working days, but the hearing of radiologist Dr. Mark Elias took seven days.
Judged by the 38-page report released by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, the case was a complex one, and some of the evidence was contradictory and inconsistent, resulting in a protracted and costly legal wrangle. You can read more in this week’s most viewed article.
Many of the significant research studies about structured reporting have originated from Germany. The latest publication in this area has come from Aachen. Don’t miss our news report.
Two eagerly anticipated sporting events -- the Winter Olympics and the Six Nations rugby -- are underway, and a timely new article about the role of imaging in young athletes looks certain to generate much interest.
In other news, the findings of an important study about stroke care have been published in Lancet Regional Health. Leveraging CT-equipped hospitals with telemedicine could enable timelier thrombolysis within a “hub-and-spoke model,” the authors concluded.
To end this week’s newsletter on an uplifting note, a European expert has landed the prestigious job of editor in chief of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Congratulations to Prof. Dr. Ken Herrmann on this notable achievement.
Philip Ward
