The Thinker

The task of finding the sick patients among the non-sick is far more challenging than it may appear and the diagnostic process is far more fraught with potential sources of error than one would like.
Grand Rounds Recap 7.26.17
In this week's Grand Rounds, we led with our first Morbidity and Mortality conference of the year. Dr. Lagasse walked us through cognitive biases, the management of early obstetric emergencies, and the management of skin and soft tissue infections in the diabetic foot. In our leadership curriculum, Drs Hill and Stettler discussed the fundamentals of being a leader, and we got to hear from a panel of accomplished physicians within our department about their own leadership journey. Finally, in our Consultant of the Month series, Dr. Martha Ferguson discussed the management of ano-rectal conditions in the Emergency Department.

Plenty of learning to go around this week!
