** HELP!?! REVISION MATERIALS FOR FINALS... MEDICINE FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS? Newcastle
Hey guys. Final year medic at Newcastle uni in need of some help! Our finals start in May this year and are done by about June 12th I think. Anyway, annoyingly people have started the "finals" hype early and it's stressing me out a little. I want to start revision soon but don't want to make the usual mistake of wasting loads of time researching the appropriate materials and making endless notes... This process usually takes me several weeks alone before I can actually start revising from my notes. I'm a big fan of the "Medicine for medical students" book by Marc Crutchley: Medicine for Medical Stude...

88 y/o with femoral fracture..crap
On call...88 y/o from Mexico who rarely gets out of bed comes in for a femoral neck fracture that needs repaired (apparently). My resident tells me he doubts this gentlemen's mental capacity is good enough for anything reliable. He told the ER he was DNR, but he tells us he can't remember ever saying that. Anyway, our online computer system has NO RECORD of anything on this guy and he doesn't know much about his medical history. Somehow the fleas and rats are able to dig up some information. COPD with recent increase in cough and sputum production. 95% on 2L NC. On a bunch of inhalers. B cell lymphoma IVC filter ...

Occam's Razor be damned
yesterday, 2 cases, the first severe respiratory distress and chest pain. Turns out to be pneumonia with adjacent effusion, and b/l PE's, and a large lung nodule suspicious for Ca, despite a story sounding like COPD and lungs too tight to move any air and an CXR looking more like CHF. The second, suicide attempt, by alcohol and xanies and oxy's (the latter 2 stolen), with aspiration pneumonitis, and tylenol level >100 (despite the PD and paramedics finding no tylenol containing bottles), and then the urine hcg popped up positive, lol. At least I felt like an EP instead of an urgent care doc, :) (Source: Student Doctor Network Forums)

what to learn while in the ED
I'm in the ED this month. What should I focus on to maximize applicable knowledge for this upcoming July when I start radiology? Kind of tired of seeing febrile kiddos, flu, copd exacerbations, asthma exacerbations, chest pain... The true emergencies are cool, but the lower acuity stuff, what should I try to focus on and see in particular? (Source: Student Doctor Network Forums)
