Soliloquys

The importance of clear communication when it comes to patient management cannot be overemphasised.
It can mean the difference between life and death, permanent disability or retaining a patients limbs.

It should be a habit for all practitioners to call when either consulting or referring a patient. Discuss and comprehensively examine him/her.

Simply because it is an injustice for the focus on management to be focused on one particular problem whilst allowing another to progress insidiously.
Complicated and critical patients tend to require multidisciplinary care, all clinicians should be open to that.
None of us hold the entire with and breadth of medical knowledge within our heads.
Remember to call out for help, and ask for a second opinion when unsure.
