F1 doctor forgot cannula (medical negligence)

Extract from : http://omarsguidelines.blogspot.co.uk/?view=flipcard

“

These were the stations I had [ on 15th_{April 2015 ]:}

1. IV cannulation – I couldn’t get blood. And the examiner asked me to continue and assume I have reached the vein. I forgot to flush as well

2. Speculum exam- I felt I wasn’t very gentle here

3. Emergency endoscopy counselling- the patient was not convinced and I forgot to look at the IV cannula. I kept assuring him that we will give him sedatives orally but he gave me a hint and was like “ but doctor, whats this for”- pointing at the cannula

4. Antenatal counselling – was straightforward. As repeated in the mock 5. Headache counselling- I don’t remember. Sorry

6. Thyroid examination – didn’t miss much here. I was gentle

7. Diabetic foot examination- said do sensory exam and reflexes. I also checked her gait and could reach till the pain sensation

(13)

8.Telephone conversation with consultant – patient had hemicolectomy and he had become vitally unstable. The most likely diagnosis here was post op intra abdominal bleeding and you had to tell the consultant the management. Don't forget to look at the vitals chart. 9. Dysphagia – just as explained in samsons notes

10. Elbow examination- the patient had both medial and lateral epicondylitis

11. Red eye history and DDX – you had to give the differentials. The patient was holding sunglasses in his hands. You had to ask about those to check for photophobia

12. Haematuria – the diagnosis here was bladder CA, painless heamaturia in a middle aged man. You had to take history from patient, give diagnosis to the examiner and then give management to the patient

13. Rest station- there were 2 rest stations

14. Hyper tension discharge medication- be careful, theres a discharge prescription placed underneath the medications. Pick it up and go through it. Once you’ve explained the

medications the patient might ask you for how long to take these medications- its mentioned on the prescription

15. Head trauma

Here are my tips for

everyone-Many of you will be going to London for the first time. I can understand that most of you will want to have a look around, but I assure you- you will have plenty of time to see the whole of London and UK once you pass. I do advise that you must take a day off after your classes and go roam about to start afresh with your revision. You will most probably be staying in east London which isn’t much of a tourist attraction spot. But this doesn’t mean you should go crazy studying and then burning yourself out in a few days. Take it easy. Its an exam of nerves, not knowledge. You need to act like a NHS doctor, and that’s where Dr Samsons advice helps the most. Take his criticism positively and work on yourself. Participate in class – everyone will laugh at you initially then the same will happen with them. Slowly your whole batch will become confident.

Here’s my final advice:
