Thank you for the talks on skin infection which I very much enjoyed. I hope you now have a background knowledge to help you choose, or guide the choice, of antibiotics and their route of administration. Remember to ask yourself "what can I do to reduce the likelihood of recurrence?" when you see a patient with these disorders. What would you do?
The two minute talks for next weekwill be on Atrial Fibrillation: two minutes please on the topics listed. Keep it concise yet precise, educate yourself and your colleagues, and quote your sources. Keep the info sheet short and simple.
assessing thrombotic risk AA
the case for rate control SYC
the case for rhythm control KM
If anybody else wishes to join the group they must bring a two minute talk.
I do not think there will be time for a discussion paper on Tuesday (reasons will become obvious) but for next week I would like you to read Risk: aspirin or car? in Bandolier. The original paper this refers to is available via the elibrary and is worth a look especially the discussion section.
What's More Dangerous, Your Aspirin Or Your Car? Thinking Rationally About Drug Risks (And Benefits). Cohen, Joshua T.; Neumann, Peter J.. Health Affairs, May/Jun2007, Vol. 26 Issue 3, p636-646; DOI: 10.1377/hlthaff.26.3.636
Interesting topics this week:
Erythromelalgia
Pseudobulbar palsy.
MJM
