Dear All

Thank you for participating in the session.

In RRR we discussed:

  • Shock – causes and management
  • Paracetamol Overdose
  • Seizures – 2 year old

Clinical station was 5 year old who presents with parental concerns regarding walking. Task was to do a MSK examination. Dr A took the hot heat and made a very comprehensive attempt running a little short on time. Walking concerns as presenting problem – Neurology examination and MSK examination are different though both have certain common strands to examine. Do not get confused.

Learning points are:

  • Clarify task if not sure
  • You will not be marked down for clarifying
  • If you follow the wrong stream – you will definitely lose marks
  • MSK normally means full pGALS with initial function questions
  • Neuro – power / tone / reflexes
