Lucid moment of calm
Ahhhhh.. Perspective. It is all good. Last minute things to cover tomorrow:
- Neck lumps and bumps
- Repiratory disease
- Infections (common ones and treatment)
- Various Mnemomics (aint much good if you forget them)
- Artetial/venous disease
- Breast & lung Cas (bound to come up)
- Reread neuro AGAIN esp: Myopathies, neuropathies, MG, MS
- Sit and MCQ for a few hours with Helen
Damn good tea, early night and above all (as put so well on the front of that immortal and most useful of guides):
"Don't Panic"
Anticoagulant blues for the inquisitive. A health warning to start with; This is bad, and I do mean bad, but it's a learning aid and hell I know the lot. I'm not sure if it's exactly the same as the original but still, it does what it says on the tin:
Vitamin K is a Co-enzyme
That gamma carboxylates Factors 2,7,9
And 10
All inhibited by Warfarin,
Always check the INR,
When it's over 3 you've gone to far,
Oh yeah....
Aspirin stops clots,
Through the blocking of COX
In RF and Ulcers you certainly should not,
Use it (...ergh)
Or you'll end up in the shit
75mg on a daily basis
300 in those emergency cases
cheesey isn't it
Clopidogrel is steep, quite shiney and new,
by blocking ADP complications are few,
oh yeah, waiting for the next bit
thrombocytopenia purpuria
to get to rhyme is a bit of a bugger
Hmmmm
IIb/IIIa is the new one to block,
the final common pathway, so everything's stopped
oh yeah, these are bloody expensive
Finally there's the old friend Heparin
I natural potentiator for anti Thrombin
It Can be reversed with procainamide,
If you've given too much and they may just die
& if i've got this far in the song, I've learnt the lot and now I'm done....
Now I eat cake......
FIN (much to everyones relief, I share my pain!!)
That's as much as I can recall.. Suffice to say it's bad but makes learning fun kids...
