Had a great time this morning with False Bay Hospital clinical team, playing @EM3FOAMed Education Games. Did "ECG Bingo" and "Is It ACS?". Excellent way to ensure team engagement, especially if chocolates are prizes! #FOAMed #FamMed em3.org.uk/foamed/categor…
Excited for our @SAAFP1 Pre-Conference PoCUS workshop, led by @GusiPocus with local Family Physician trainers. I’ll be there to take many selfies. So come join on 6 Sept in Cape Town! #FMPoCUS #PoCUS
Saving this post for when our newly acquired EZ-IO dies!

Study findings do not support the treatment of elevated inpatient blood pressures in hospitalized older adults without evidence of end organ damage and highlight the need for randomized clinical trials of inpatient blood pressure treatment targets. ja.ma/3NXGLWV
Nice view of Mitral Stenosis with my @ButterflyNetInc with anterior leaflet as a hockey-stick shape or diastolic doming. #PoCUS #FMPoCUS #EchoFirst
Had fun with my new @Oculine1 mount to go with my @ButterflyNetInc. Makes vascular access much easier. Thanks for hooking me up @zebra_medical
Looking forward to the South African release of this feature!

Reopening our GA theatre service at False Bay Hospital! Got to find veins with my @ButterflyNetInc. And hang out with @Spdpleroux. My doppelgänger @montmorency314 was even there. Good to be back in theatre again. @zebra_medical @AnjeGregory #FMPoCUS #PoCUS

A good reminder for myself, to scan all the way through to the apex. This little dude was trying to hide from me. Also some pretty smoke / spontaneous echo contrast. #PoCUS #FMPoCUS #EchoFirst
Had lots of Difficult Airway fun this morning at False Bay Hospital. Ducanto D Grip, Front of Neck Access, SALAD and test-driving our re-discovered Video Laryngoscope. Thanks to @rosshofmeyr and @Spdpleroux for the mannequin and @sebdehaan for material #FamMed
More fun with my @zebra_medical @ButterflyNetInc. Young patient scanned with @skaapie7, IV drug user with clinical infective endocarditis. Ended up with a positive fungal blood culture. A very unhappy aortic valve. PoCUS helped us expedite cardiology transfer. #FMPoCUS #IMPoCUS
#primafamed session on educational research & innovations in #familymedicine, with experiences from Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa and Nigeria. Training for #primarycare needs to be informed by evidence, esp from our region, and incorporate technology and leadership development.
Had so much fun hanging out with my old mate @skaapie7 (Jonathan Naude) at Mitchells Plain Hospital, taking my new @ButterflyNetInc iQ+ for a spin courtesy of @zebra_medical. Found a pretty spine sign! #IMPoCUS #FMPoCUS
Great work Thandi
