Zedu Weekly Wrap - 10 September 2021

Time is warping in lockdown …

and it feels like we’re in a perpetual state of jetlag. The normal rhythm of life has been derailed – the tide like ebb and flow of people through the doors has evaporated, the chitter chatter of patient models replaced by silence. This sensory depravation must be what it will be like to voyage to Mars – we’ll be well trained!

The weekly wrap is still here like clockwork though!

Lots to see and do. And if you have something coming up you’d like to add or a gem we may have overlooked let us know.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – This week’s Coaching Corner on forearm blocks with Dr Elias Jaffa will be up soon.

Nice case/examples, and here's a link to a former tweet of mine with a cool way to simulate these findings for learners: https://t.co/qIaHNiMg1R https://t.co/hIkefsGzCj

This is a 🧵 about physical examination, and what role it (still) plays in modern clinical practice. Decided to write this after seeing a post earlier this yr by @RichardLehman1 on this issue and some people replying that examination was much less relevant in the modern era
