“Nothing good happens after midnight” - Baz McCullum, Feb 2k26 🏏🍻

In my experience… “Do you really want to end your life… or do you just want to stop feeling like this?” can be really powerful. And… Avoiding phrases that place or suggest blame e.g “commit” suicide #MedSky

Dr Oğuzhan Taş argues modern diagnostics and workflows stop us being fully present at the patient bedside. I reckon it isn't just smell either- we don't auscultate, palpate, or observe as closely as we once did. Are we dinosaurs? Or have we truly lost important diagnostic skills? 🤔 #MedEd

Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (LICs) offer innovative clinical training pathways for medical students. More than 20% of medical schools now incorporate this clinical education model, according to a new data snapshot from @aamc.org. Learn more at https://bit.ly/3RuqnSg. #meded

Mrs Smith, 78, hip fracture patient, described as "confused & aggressive" Ward round note: "?UTI. Start antibiotics." No mention of "delirium" My reaction: What about her distress - untreated pain? Dehydration? Medication review? Telling the family the diagnosis? Etc. Why we need Delirium 8 👇

Let's look at delirium and dementia: Episodes of delirium: more rapid progression of dementia. Delirium survivors: x3-fold higher risk of future dementia. ➡️ We really need the support of dementia charities in helping improve delirium care. #delirium #dementia #medtwitter

#Delirium treatment is much more complex: treat the cause(s) - usually more than 1, optimise physiology (e.g. hydrate), detect & treat distress, prevent complications (e.g. falls, pressure sores, aspiration), communicate with family, rehabilitate, etc. #meded

This House believes Artificial Intelligence should replace traditional clinical teaching in medical education Are you for or against?

Good presentation on medical student wellbeing. Literature review of six areas of wellbeing for medical students Spiritual wellbeing seen as personally meaningful BUT curricular silence in the literature Mental wellbeing, valued but stigmatised These are easily addressed though. @tasme.bsky.social
