Dear All

Thank you for paetticpating in the session.

In RRR we discussed:

• Post Uretheral Vlaves
• UTI presentation
• Gastroenteritis – mimiced by ..

The Hsitry station was of a 15 year old, with Diabetes type 1 since 4 years old. Presenting with weight loss, lose stools and crampy abdominal pain. Dr I was in the Hotseat with Dr P in Role player mode. Dr S & Dr P were with examiner hats. Dr I made a good attempt at gathering history but as it was the first ime in the hotseat panicked a little and lost control of the timing. Too much time was spent on one specific complaint and could not quite get the ‘family photograph’. Dr S & Dr P completed the blanks and summrised.

The Learning points are:

• You need to be orgnaised and structured
• Have your history template and note down bullet points
• Develop a differential daignosis of likely casues or complications
• Develop a mental time line so as to cover ALL points noted
• missing specific points will lose marks – touch all bases
• Need to develop sucicent questions to your quries
• do NOT get into Communication mode
• Acknowledge and park the queries
• Summarize at 9 mins – briefly
