Wardround 9iii7

This week we had two minute talks on the various waves and segments of the ECG. My prize for the best talk/handout goes to DF. I have a list of normal values on this wiki.

The reading for discussion next Friday is the description of the plague of Athens in The History of the Peloponnesian War written by Thucydides in 431 B.C. If you click on the link it will take you to a copy of the piece. The web page begins with chapter VI, but you can skip down to chapter VII (unless you would like to read about the war). If you cannot find the right section, press ctrl-F and type in plague.

You need to have an opinion on the diagnosis and be prepared to argue your corner. Make sure you revise the signs and symptoms of the disease you choose. Your two minute tutorials should be aimed at convincing a sceptical consultant (Dr YT) that your diagnosis is correct.

Furthermore, give some thought as to how you would work up such cases if they pitched up on MAU during your take.
