Wardround 6ii9


The reading for discussion on Tuesday is Aunt Sophie’s Choice: the perils of paternalism. Schafer A.

The two minute talks this week were about abscesses. Good talks which I hope you found helpful. Remember the basics: consider the types of organisms that are possible, which will be altered by travel and immunocompetence. Always, ALWAYS, have your own plan in mind when seeking advice, then make sure you understand why any new plan differs from your own.

For nest week the two minute talks will be Neurology: recognising and understanding the following as causes of impaired walking:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Myelopathy (Dr Teo)
Peripheral neuropathy (Dr Jani)

Two minutes only. Be concise and precise. Quote your sources.

Interesting Topics

Benzodiazepine withdrawal exacerbated by quinolones (papers in patient's notes)
