So, I sent a sad young lass with a painful wrist off for an xray. She returned happy and said “Bunny had fun” which I didn’t understand until I pulled up up the X-rays. . . .

@hallpaintings @EMAJournal @WileyHealth @acemonline Is the greatest misconception in this ‘independent practice’? A functional ED is an interdependent Team with overarching governance of clinical practice as set by our employer (the Health Service). Nobody in my workplace is an ‘independent practioner’. We work together.

@NadiaKamil @SteveAsh7 Our hospital gets lots of 5 stars from satisfied patients and then the odd 0 stars from someone unhappy - it makes for a weird average

@ReadingsBooks @AmyRemeikis I believe I have met this bunny before

@bhanders @MazurStef @appearce2 Thanks @bhanders! Great demo of a Team approach to new process/equipment implementation: @mardi_steere scoped the products available and drove the purchase, Ross S (@kiddr_7 ) led early adoption and @AmyKKeir steered the Kids team to developing a new technical competency

@dymonite69 @_NMay @ffolliet Serial examination is also very expediently performed by palpation, and hands are very common and available for this in resource-poor and disaster situations. #PutDowntheProbeandExamineThePatient!

[John Craven @docjohncraven]

@dymonite69 @_NMay @ffolliet Serial abdominal examination should always occur until (and after) definitive diagnosis and management

@DrSimonCraig @Aidan_Baron I was taught this dogma and sadly believed it for a long time

[John Craven @docjohncraven]

@Aidan_Baron @hifli1986 Aim for the next level up: Asthma and bronchiolitis are different disease processes so they present with subtle difference - if progressive symptoms over several days prob bronch (ie viral chest infection) and likely unresponsive to salbutamol. If rapid (ie <24hr) likely asthma
