While learning POCUS, I admittedly skipped over most of the "ultrasound physics" chapters and moved right into the various types of scans. I suppose it's the same reason I dropped out of drum lessons as a kid. I wanted to learn actual songs and move on from the mind-numbing paradiddles. I eventually realized that skipping the fundamentals does not make it impossible to learn something, but it can steepen the curve, causing more frustration in the long game.

Leads V5-6 are suspicious for upright, enlarged T waves that are possibly inappropriate for the QRS complex, especially V6. But without a baseline for comparison, it would be difficult for me to say that it is specific and diagnostic for OMI.
