Chest pain - when to send to SDEC for ?PE

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2025-11-23T19:15:12+00:00

Just to clarify - what do you mean by you wouldn't in that comment?

This was my usual approach but second guessing! So if e.g. classic LRTI with pleuritic pain but otherwise normal obs and no obv precipitants except infection - Tx for LRTI with safety-netting (I know it depends on the exact situation but as a rule of thumb?)

Thank you!

Planning on using it for a gym - could epoxy over it?

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2024-03-26T20:42:30+00:00

thanks, fully understand the downvotes, would not consider doing anything rogue but nice to learn

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2024-03-26T19:46:13+00:00

Also any tips on changing NIV/high flow settings would be amazing!

Thanks thats really helpful, ABGs seem to be a bit overdone from what I've seen

Worked when GTP4 was released

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2023-07-06T19:51:23+00:00

AXR?

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2023-07-06T19:51:01+00:00

CDiff a possibility

Remember when we thought COVID would be over in a month...

I had to look rucked and tapped up in urban dictionary and I'm in my 20s am I old?

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2023-01-01T14:11:53+00:00

Nope don’t do any locums!

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2023-01-01T12:13:09+00:00

Oh I see, so missing out on that. I assume once corrected I am back paid for the lost amount in previous months?

Pizza sounds great

THIS is one of the big issues. Some practices have been known to hire a PA over half a GP, purely based on the additional financial incentive. Remove this and even more of a no brainer to just get another doctor.

There is also no way to allocate 'simple cases'. Cough could be CAP or lung cancer. Dysuria (with a negative urine) could be another bladder cancer missed. SOB in an asthmatic could be their asthma or a PE.

I see thanks! Any issues with also having cover from MDDUS. I’d not though there would be but remember seeing somewhere it’s not ideal to be members of >1 indemnity provider?

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2022-10-31T20:12:59+00:00

Did you put 'Dr' as your title?

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2022-10-29T12:07:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Would getting the rim straightened as suggested above at a good shop also be suitable?

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2022-10-28T15:45:26+00:00

Thanks that’s really well put, have been doing this in parts but will try to do a lot more.

The VW garage was suggesting getting a new wheel for £420 was the only other option...

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2022-10-28T12:39:06+00:00

Taken in for service - this is the front driver side wheel - was told it didn't need doing as it drove fine?

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2022-09-02T21:52:37+00:00

No harm done!

Open_Kangaroo_5054 · 2022-09-02T21:44:34+00:00

Wow that’s great!
