This week we discussed the bone profile (calcium, phosphate, magnesium, vitamin D). Can I ask each of you to post one sentence in the comments section with the most useful/interesting fact from your talk please.
The next two minute assignments are on hyponatraemia. The aim, remember, is to give a practical and memorable talk on your given subject in just two minutes. You have to be harsh in keeping the information to the most essential. The test of success is that at the end of the discussion we should be able to diagnose and treat the condition.
