      3/ In 1835, 10 years after publication of Parry's description, Irish surgeon Robert Graves described a patient w/ thyromegaly + exophthalmos.

However, the hows and whos of learning and teaching bedside ultrasonography remain a murky quagmire. This is how I think it should be. Every training scheme…
