Sonowars form SMACC 2014

For those who love ultrasound and for those who would like to know more about it, here is a very good demonstration on how to make it fun in a conference setting. My old mentor Dr Adrian Goudie and his fellow WA colleague Dr James Rippey team up to "go against" the dynamic duo from http://www.ultrasoundpodcast.com/ .
Thanks to the SMACC organisers who posted this on the web.

Here's another video from Dr James McCormack, espousing the value of choosing to eat wisely. He hilariously argues that this will do more than most medications we dole out these days. All this with The Eagles and EBM thrown in!
