Conclusion: Imaging and repeat imaging in sciatic doesn’t really change the management..So why do it then!

TechTool review of PicSafe Medi by PicSafe on iOS and Android
Website: – iTunes - Website - Android
There has been much discussion online with #foamed supporters interested in a mobile app that consents for taking patient photos. While we were all chatting about it, someone else has done it.
PicSafe Medi offers a secure way for you to take patient photos and record consent. It’s fabulous. But not exactly free.
Design and User Interface
The app looks beautiful and works perfectly. It’s clear that a lot of time, effort and money has gone into making this app special.
The developers have set up a com...

Searching for Smaug
“My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!“
Smaug, the most powerful, the most cunning, and some would even say the greatest, dragon of the Third Age, had a story steeped in mystery. By the time an unexpected journey began, Smaug had not been seen for 150 years, but legend had it that he had laid waste to the Lonely Mountain in Erebor, and was feared as a ruthless killer.
The obvious questions that ensue from this frightening tale are:
Does Smaug really exist, or is he some terrifying myth?
If ...

The Blog is only as loud as the blogger
At LITFL and in the froth of #FOAMed we are constantly faced with a barrage of negative, cynical and disparaging comments on the role of the blog and social media in the provision of medical education and patient engagement.
I thought it would be worthwhile to post one of the more erudite commentaries on the subject, from a source that shall remain anonymous…
The Blog is only as loud as the blogger!
Information is powerful and power is dangerous in the hands of the illiterate!
If it is FREE it must be good! They are giving out free tickets to live in Broken Hill, would you take it!!!

TechTool review of GenSurgCall by on Jeremy Tan on iOS (reviewed on iPhone)
Website: – iTunes - Website
GenSurgCall is a quick-reference guide, which gives a brief overview of general surgical problems. It’s most useful for med students and very junior doctors.
Design and User Interface
The design is absent and the UI is all over the place. On first glance it looks just like a very basic app with text and rows and general dullness – to be honest I almost couldn’t face looking through it. However, it has a few surprising features in there.
