Wardround 7xii7

The two minute tutorials this week were acute endocrine emergencies. I will upload the Addisonoan Crisis sheet to the summary sheet section. Remember, think about hypoadrenalism in any patient with shock, especially if they have a history of steroid use.

For next week the talks are themed around Malaria:

Epidemiology HJ
Falciparum JR
Vivax (Kaur)
Malariae/Ovale NS
Acute malaria SS
Travel prophylaxis KG

Two minutes please. Concise yet precise and quote your sources. The aim is not ‘to give a talk’ but to educate by giving a talk. Those handouts deemed up to scratch will be added to the permanent collection. We know this is a difficult task, that is why we challenge you with it.

The paper for discussion on Tuesday is

Clinical decision-making: Coping with uncertainty. A F West; R R West
Postgraduate Medical Journal; Jun 2002; 78, 920.
