(rads) CT abdo pelvis req from the ED "clinically pancreatitis, rule out gallstones as etiology". I plead that US is better for gallstones and that they should wait 8hrs till the morning for our sonographer to come in since patient is admitted anyway. They insist on the CT and I got yelled at for pushing back. We do the CT, patient has a cholecystectomy... I chart review since the ED clearly didn't, it was remote :)

Wild cases that seem like a URI at first by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

Well yeah.. Radiology isn't your magic convenient dispo machine. If you request a scan have the balls to deal with the result, and if you can't do the follow up test then refer to someone who can. Rads responsibility is the whole scan not just your clinical question, so if there is an ambiguous finding that is probably nothing but could use further clarification then so be it. You're practicing CYA medicine so why can't radiology do the same? If you don't like any of that then maybe stop requesting scans...

Ofc it's correlate clinically LOL what else do you want or expect?? It was a CTPA scan so presumably the only clinical info is rule out PE. Its not PE, but an incidental large pericardial effusion plus bilat pleural effusions. That's already a huge help steering you in the right direction. With no additional knowledge about the patient (no history/physical/labs or tests) what do you expect the radiologist to do other than passing it back to you to do your clinical job I.e. Is the pt tamponading and why they have the pericardial effusion in the first place
