If you're starting out in EM then it can be a scary time. Iain and Simon talk through some of the initial anxieties and ask what you need to know to be safe, sensible and super.
Remember our top ten tips...
- Respect those around you and value their opinion
- The History is everything
- There are 4 key treatments we give in the ED – think whether every patient you see needs any of these and you will save lives and relieve pain
- Oxygen
- Fluids
- Analgesia
- Antibiotics
- Think ‘What difference have I made to this patient?’. Always try to make a difference, however small (it may “just” be getting them an extra blanket)
- No patient (almost) wants to be in the ED. They really don’t. It wasn’t what they planned for their day.
- Spend twice as long with patients you don’t like or don’t get on with.
- Look the part. Be smart. Behave in the way you would expect anyone to behave towards you.
- Be on time. Always. Ansd leave on time if at all possible.
- Take your breaks – eat when you can and drink water when you can’t.
- Enjoy yourself…
