Med On The Go With Dr. Oli

Finally we move on from Emergency Medicine to General Medicine, and what better way to start than a revision! In today's episode (part 1 of 2), we review the anatomy of the whole gastrointestinal tract; and Dr. Oli leaves us with some mysteries questions--which will be answered in part 2 of the review!

This week we take a break from emergency-focused medicine to talk about something super important but something that no one likes to spend time thinking about: medico-legal informed consent and informed discharges! It may sound just like good common sense, or it may seem like scary scenarios, or it may even just be annoying exam content for some people--but how to obtain informed consent/discharge is one of the most important aspects of medicine. Whether you are giving or receiving the treatment, we all want what is safe, fair, and the best possible outcome. As usual, notes will be available on our blog www.medongo.blogspot.ca.
