‘Shades of grey’: a focus group study on diagnostic uncertainty among general practitioners using point-of-care ultrasound
POCUS-using GPs experienced diagnostic uncertainty when using POCUS that aligned with other diagnostic uncertainties they experienced in everyday practice. However, they did not treat the results like other findings, as the GPs at times withheld their POCUS findings when interacting with secondary care specialists. This requires further investigation.
