SOFsono title page 687 blog bannerYet another quarter has gone by, and the SOFsono JSOM case #2 is out in the Journal of Special Operations Medicine (fall issue). As promised, we are following with further discussion here on the blog.

Our goal is to provide you with a series of SOF-focused and case-based ultrasound education TiDBiTS.

Now, let me begin by saying that MARSOC guys are tough dudes – no doubt about that!
