Of course it’s mine why would I take a picture of someone else’s ecg. It was in a hospital not a gp

I am a paramedic. Any medical professional saying they can competently interpret that from a photo like that is an absolute liability and should be struck off.

I agree.

What did the person who requested the ECG say op? Surely theirs is the opinion that should matter to you.

I have to interpret less than perfect ECGs all the time @PrismRain. You’ll know that for an agitated or confused patient it can be impossible to get a clear trace but you try to interpret what is available. And despite being blurry and angled it still a decent enough view to make lots of judgments and rule out major pathology. Obviously this is all a moot point as it’s a just a random internet post and the OP should be discussing with their clinician.

@PrismRainnot linked to the thread so apologies OP for the hijack. My DD is a student paramedic and is struggling to find a bag that’s fits everything without being too big! Can you recommend anything?
