Dear All

Thank you for participating in the session.

In RRR we discussed:

• Brusing – causes
• NAI – history
• Hyperthyroidism – presentation

mini Mock was CVS station – Dr P took the Hotseat with Dr I and Dr P with examiner hats. Dr P made a good attempt. It took 12 minutes to complete and had missed some important aspects – performance needed to improve as points highlighted at previous session were not incorporated into practice.Dr I & Dr P pointed out and mentioned how it could be attempted differently. AG ran through the examination from General physical to auscultation and summary to examiner.

Learning points are:

• Practice what has been discussed
• Write out A4 sheet ‘performa’ to your examination
• Need to be systematic – so as not to omit and be haphazard
• Practice – Pracrtice – Practice.
• 5 minutes to complete your examination – it CAN be done
• Listen to murmurs for: VSD, PDA, AS & AR, PS.
