I've realized over the years that I read an inordinate amount of EKGs throughout my shifts. Alot of these are ordered out in triage and unecessary in my opinion but we still have to read them. I wondered if with all of these reads this makes us more competent than any other specialty in reading EKGs. I would assume a cardiologist doesn't order an EKG on every single patient in the clinic. Obviously it's difficult to make a statement that just because we read more we are therefore better. We would need some sort of unbiased other person to confirm them. (I could just be misreading EKGs over and over). It would be interesting to know though. I don't know what everyone else's take on this is.
