Oh, today was just FUN!!!
It was such a mix - two teenagers with menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea, one with a Hb of 94 and Ferritin of 5, fellow with gout who has decided to commence a preventative, complex, chronic medicine in those who are vulnerable as they have to get a new GP (their previous one has left), travel medicine (PNG, Kokoda), follow up of a young farmer who’d worked with chest pain, shortness of breath and whose offsider had noted to be pale. Thank goodness there is a visiting Heart bus! And last of the day was a drivers licence medical in a young woman with a medical condition who I had been able to get advice from a specialist via the Mater's eConsultant and felt empowered with the advice I was giving and the medication changes required. She was overdue for her CST, needed a referral to a dermatologist etc and I had booked a 45 min appt for her as I knew it was complex, so there was no stress in getting all of this done.
Full breadth and depth.
Just wonderful! Nothing out of my depth. :-)
