Had a great time this morning with False Bay Hospital clinical team, playing @EM3FOAMed Education Games. Did "ECG Bingo" and "Is It ACS?". Excellent way to ensure team engagement, especially if chocolates are prizes! #FOAMed#FamMed https://t.co/HHrDRIlPAC
Excited for our @SAAFP1 Pre-Conference PoCUS workshop, led by @GusiPocus with local Family Physician trainers. I’ll be there to take many selfies. So come join on 6 Sept in Cape Town! #FMPoCUS#PoCUS
Safe POCUS requires that one can articulate the pre-test probability which justifies the scan, and the positive and negative likelihood ratios of that specific POCUS exam performed. POCUS without a basic understanding of Bayesian clinical decision making is perhaps dangerous.
We are excited to invite you to the official launch of the Dept of Family, Community and Emergency Care on Wed, 23 August 2023.
Guest speakers include Dr Imtiaaz Sooliman (Gift of the Givers) and Dr Keith Cloete (Head of Health & Wellness, WCG).

Study findings do not support the treatment of elevated inpatient blood pressures in hospitalized older adults without evidence of end organ damage and highlight the need for randomized clinical trials of inpatient blood pressure treatment targets. https://t.co/wXQy3j8XcW
A good reminder for myself, to scan all the way through to the apex. This little dude was trying to hide from me. Also some pretty smoke / spontaneous echo contrast. #PoCUS#FMPoCUS#EchoFirst
Had lots of Difficult Airway fun this morning at False Bay Hospital. Ducanto D Grip, Front of Neck Access, SALAD and test-driving our re-discovered Video Laryngoscope. Thanks to @rosshofmeyr and @Spdpleroux for the mannequin and @sebdehaan for material #FamMed
More fun with my @zebra_medical@ButterflyNetInc. Young patient scanned with @skaapie7, IV drug user with clinical infective endocarditis. Ended up with a positive fungal blood culture. A very unhappy aortic valve. PoCUS helped us expedite cardiology transfer. #FMPoCUS#IMPoCUS
Mid 20s female with a couple of recent presentations of abdo pain and vomiting. Always normal bloods, vitals and exam. Labelled as dramatic. Quick PoCUS changes disposition!
Such a pretty gallstone and acoustic shadow. #FMPoCUS#PoCUS
