Thank you for participating in the session today. We had our Rapid Random Review which were:

• Jittery baby
• Toxic radiation to CNS in ALL relapse treatment – Learning disability
• Cerebral dysfunction in Newborn – signs

This was followed by a PowerPoint presentation by AG on the radio station and how to attempt the presenting scenario.Video clip was of a two day old baby who was showing evidence of seizure activity. Hotseat was taken by Dr I & Dr K. Examiners were Dr A & Dr A – Dr D & Dr S

Learning points:

• You are allowed to use a paper to make notes
• Think of differential diagnosis (DD) in 4 minutes with initial information
• Observe the Video carefully and note the signs
• Work out questions to ask in history on your DD
• Relevant examination on your DD
• If examiner suggests a different Diagnosis – Do Not argue!
• Support your diagnosis
• Aetiology in BROAD categories first
• Management in Broad principles first.
• If an ‘Emergency’ – deal with that first e.g. seizures
