Sal:   You and I find some cases of CT helpful.   We  use CT in conjunction 
with all of the findings, including history, physical  examination, regular 
x-rays, and arteriograms when indicated.  I dont think  you and really 
recognize just how prevalent ordering CT and CTA in stead of  doing an 
examination really is.    AND then a very junior person  reads the CT and most 
persons do not ever go look at themselves, but merely  react to the reading.

I am increasingly  convinced that CT for trauma has more VOMITS than  
benefits.
