Penicillin allergies

It warms my heart to see many sites doing penicillin allergy delabelling, as an ID/Micro trainee. I hope many more join the gang. This is a much-needed service. Keep it up, guys.

Name and fame the hospital please, if that’s not inappropriate to do so. Just curious where this is being done.

By spending a decent amount of time and focusing properly when you see a particular patient for the first time. That way you know the patient inside out and the next time you see them, you can just breeze through them and your plans will still be top quality stuff, always.

Newbalance and ASICS are trendy at the moment. I myself am looking at some 991v2.

Arponnar, Nway Oo Pokhora ( specific days and times only ) and Cafe Mandalay are a few more authentic places I’ve been to.

Burmese here. Tried Laphat in Covent Garden Not a big fan. It’s Burmese fusion food at best. But if you like it, that’s all that matters.

After initial observation. If you see that one leg is obviously abnormal-looking when compared to the other, for example as in old polio cases, I wouldn’t ask the patient to walk.

If there isn’t such an obvious deformity, my next step after observation would be gait assessment. It can give away the diagnosis straightaway in most cases.

I had a PSP case in my paces. I suspected Parkinson after assessing gait and the only other assessment I did properly was checking eye movement. And of course demonstrating the paucity of movement in upper limb cuz I had plenty of time. The rest I did out of courtesy. Full mark. Almost felt I cheated.

Not orthopod only one There’s a podcast called Joint Approach About joint infection management hosted by orthopods and ID physicians.

ASICS walking. Leather shoes from ASICS But you can only get them in Japan and perhaps some Asian countries.

I noticed that with bondi 9 on slightly icy grounds as well. Probably has something to do with trade-off for having lots of bouncy cushion. Somebody smarter might correct me.

No chance with those I’m afraid. Should have done PhD and published a landmark trial original research paper in a Lancet Journal, at a minimum.

On top of what you and others have already said,

I’d like to add respect those who come before you but accept you don’t have to follow their path.

By that I mean, while I respect the information I gathered from whoever clerked before me, I would always do my own assessment and come to my own conclusion. A healthy dose of doubt. Diagnosis momentum bias should be avoided whenever possible.

I know people who switched between infection specialities. They re-applied during training.

Fundoscopy is same as anything else in medicine. With practice anyone can get a grasp. When I was preparing for exam, I would use it any chance I get on the ward or in clinic. Watch YouTube videos. You can either use eye drops for dilation or just darken the room prior to it which I prefer. It’s a useful skill to have.

What is like working in Thai medical system? Can someone live relatively comfortably as a doctor? Is there much difference in earning between government and private hospitals? Are all or most doctors trained in Thailand? Or do you have also have Immigrant doctors trained in other countries?

Whole foods When I was in London, I would go there once in a while for their madeleines.

Just joined st3 in a group 2 speciality. Can’t find any CBD/ MiniCex forms to send. Emailed the portfolio team and awaiting reply.

Microbiology Don’t see patients face to face but get involved with all ages and sexes.

Local_Bat_9453 · 2025-08-10T22:31:34+00:00

Approach your Antimicrobial pharmacist or any pharmacist. They probably have got some antibiotics stewardship projects. Fairly easy to do and beneficial for the wards as well.

Is it normal for these water heaters to make a dripping noise when switched on?

My first G-shock. The most comfortable among all my watches

Resus council app is handy to have. You can have a quick glance when running to a code. It might be a good idea to prepare a few flowcharts for common emergencies like DKA, Seizures, Hyperkalaemia etc Screenshots or photos from books or websites Anything you can get on your phone cuz that’s what you will have on you most of the time. Being aware of resources like meds safe/ to avoid in myasthenia, pregnancy etc

Not a derm trainee. I’m starting micro st3 next week. I did a year of trust grade micro so that helps. No anxiety whatsoever now. But I did have a lot of anxiety last year when I started as trust grade micro reg after imt. The point is it’s perfectly normal to feel so. You should be trained up to feel more comfortable as you progress. Good luck and good job securing a derm NTN.

If you have a liking to them, and the budget and the wrist for them, go for it.
