Tuesday:
The questions posed for this Friday were:
1. Indications for statins in CVA?
2. Non-cardiac causes of ST/T changes on the ECG?
2. Use of Ampicillin in meningitis?
The reading for the week is "Why are medical journals so dull" by Richard Asher. Originally published in the BMJ in 23 August 1958 but reprinted in The Healing Arts by Robin Downie. I have given a photocopy of the article to Patryk.
Interesting cases so far this week:
- Tension pneumothorax
- Phlegmasia cerulens dolens (was I correct to treat this with alteplase?)
Don't forget your two minute tutorials...make them concise but precise.
