Gave ketamine for burn dressing...
Me trying to remove dressings: how's the pain? Is the medicine working?
Pt: I don't think it's working. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PENGUINS ON THIS ISLAND?

Do we still need stethoscopes? In this podcast, Professor Bernard Prendergast discusses his paper on whether stethoscopes can detect valve disease in asymptomatic primary care patients. We also cover POCUS and whether Bernard still uses his stethoscope! https://t.co/vzSAKLyDAY
