For one couple, getting the COVID-19 vaccine was as memorable as getting married! Marc Rigden & Melanie Dompierre renewed their vows in an impromptu ceremony at our vaccine clinic. They exchanged vaccines and Dr. Michael Rubin was Best Inoculator in a wedding for the ages.

There is so much practice variation when it comes to the workup of aortic dissection (98% of CTs performed are negative!). Dr. Wells has a great summary to get us on the same page, with expert commentary from @robertohle: emottawablog.com/2020/10/aor…
