Another pointer from James

Apr 05, 2008 in Learn

James pointed out, as did a lecturer on a course recently, that there hasn’t been a pain question for some time in the SAQ.

Pain questions should probably be answered with the following keywords:

Biopsychosocial
Multimodal
Multidisciplinary
Time-contigent
Guideline based

somewhere in the answer.

One of the possible questions that might come up is a question about the organisation of a pain team, the reasoning being that there is a requirement in the CCT to be aware of this, and it’s more or less the only thing that hasn’t been asked!

Mr Angry

Apr 05, 2008 in Uncategorized

Recently I had the opportunity to be deeply irritated (understatement of the century) by a charge nurse. It has disrupted 2 days of my studying dealing with both the anger and the upset, and indeed the fallout from dealing with it.
My advice: “Enhance your calm” whilst studying, which may be best served by taking annual leave/study leave as my friend has done.
I wish I had.
