Bald daddies for stroke prevention
This tip is a little different.
I wanted to share something I've been using recently during the resident doctor strikes that has really helped me to make sure I'm not missing anything for our stroke patients.
It's a mnemonic that covers most of the things we need to check in stroke patients to help prevent future strokes.
You might use it to make sure you had all the right tests, or medical professionals in the group might want to use this on the ward.
