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 em3.org.uk/foamed/categor…

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

@SAAFP1 @Spdpleroux looking forward to this!

Saving this post for when our newly acquired EZ-IO dies!

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). @GiftoftheGivers @WestCapeHealth

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. ja.ma/3NXGLWV

Nice view of Mitral Stenosis with my @ButterflyNetInc with anterior leaflet as a hockey-stick shape or diastolic doming. #PoCUS #FMPoCUS #EchoFirst

Had fun with my new @Oculine1 mount to go with my @ButterflyNetInc. Makes vascular access much easier. Thanks for hooking me up @zebra_medical

Looking forward to the South African release of this feature!

Reopening our GA theatre service at False Bay Hospital! Got to find veins with my @ButterflyNetInc. And hang out with @Spdpleroux. My doppelgänger @montmorency314 was even there. Good to be back in theatre again. @zebra_medical @AnjeGregory #FMPoCUS #PoCUS

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

@Doc_Megz @TAKEALOT Their “listing price” that they base their discount claims on are never accurate

Sneaky, @TAKEALOT - this item has been R499 for the past month. This isn’t 35% off YOUR price. This is why South Africans don’t truly benefit from “black Friday”.

@Doc_Megz @TAKEALOT Use this website to track Takealot’s historical prices: servaltracker.com Their % discounts are never accurate!

@SurferKirst Hahaha reminds me of the lecture thyroid @jessmary_smith did almost entirely from Awkward Yeti comics. It was amazing

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
