Snowy Sunday on-call ๐ฆด:
Two Trimalleolar ankle fractures
Two tibial shaft fractures
One neck of femur
One supracondylar with median nerve symptoms
One patellar fracture
One ?CES
+ a ward round and two wards to cover
Not bad.
๐The safe limit of new inpatient consultations for trainees, as determined by cognitive load theory, is FOUR per shift.
I was a trainee in 'fatigue++' days, so I'm curious to hear from others now- how achievable is 4 news consults/shift? ๐ค #MedTwitter#MedEd
