Clinical Cases

Useful Website: Clinical Cases

We found a useful website this week: http://clinicalcases.org/
The site is American, so some terminology is less useful than it might be, but step-by-step photo guides to procedures, along with all the potential contraindications, are excellent.

It was very well received by the clinician who came to ask asking for videos showing central line insertion - why not take a look?
