As the Chair of the Trainees Advisory Committee for the RCPA, I have to say I am sorry that the medical student who has commented had such a negative experience of pathology teaching.

Penis extrication - not a joke thread [Archive] - Forums

I would never even think to say I've seen it all, but if I had, this one would have shown me otherwise. Had a guy get his penis stuck in a 1" diameter hole in .125" steel, coated in plastic.

flagging needed "health maintenance" items - Amazing Charts User Board

As a pediatrician, I would love to have the programs tell me that a patient is due for a vaccine (I would be willing to put in parameters if need be). This could work for anyone who wants to track a test or procedure. HgbA1C, lipids, mammograms etc.

Donald Rose: Medicare says ...

Forum  |  www.6minutes.com.au

"Medicare says" in the future it won't be doing this and it won't be doing that. The trouble is what "Medicare says" depends on what day you ring and who you get. Some days "Medicare says" that a claim is ok then next day "Medicare says" it is not. Other times it says it will get back to you.

Forum  |  www.6minutes.com.au

One of the biggest problems with pathology recruiting is that modern Medical students dislike pathology so much. Pathology is incredibly hard and very easy to fail, especially if the student has no science background.

Philip Henschke: diagnosing dementia

Forum  |  www.6minutes.com.au

Dementia is brain failure!! The most important organ in the human body is failing and MD's do not want to make a diagnosis!!. Come on. What is wrong with our medical education when a doctor rates a the presence of useful pill as the trigger to make a diagnosis.
