What I find interesting with this video and others on patient presentation is that there is a common framework to how med students present patients, but there are small variations between how we will report on patients in surgery, medicine, OB, and the other specialties.
2:30 she says they don't need to know the range of the vital signs. But then says they just need to know the highs and lows of the vital signs (isn't that just the range then?).
I think she means to only report the vitals that were high or low -aka the abnormal vitals (like in the example, she reported the high HR but just said pt was normotensive for BP instead of giving exact values)
I love how the first physician gave direct and constructive feedback. Would love to learn from her!
As a med student watching this, I feel as if I went my entire 3rd year without ever receiving feedback on my presenations.
Thanks for making the video!
Thanks so much!!
