"You, boy/girl! Tell me about this disease!" the consultant shouts at you in the middle of a ward round. Your eyes widen, your heart thumps, everyone looks at you, you break out into a cold sweat. You can't think of what to say! If only you'd watched this podcast on how to structure facts about any disease in a logical and easy to remember way. Exasperated the consultant moves onto your colleague who has watched this podcast, and gives a perfect answer using the In A Surgeon's Gown A Physician May Make Some Significant Progress mnemonic described here. Most med students and doctors in training know all the facts but can't get them out at important moments. Use this technique and you'll never be stuck again...
