Episode 10 Consult Commandments to Dominate the Day

0:00 14:35

Mastering the surgical consult is a true milestone in every young surgeon’s career. But it’s not easy! It is a difficult transition from lowly data gatherer to mighty data synthesizer. It is, in many ways, an art form. Is there anything more beautiful than breaking down a complex, convoluted patient presentation into an immaculate assessment and plan? Something so bullet proof that the attending surgeon has been left speechless. Perhaps not! Join Drs. Joey Lew and Patrick Georgoff as they review 10 CONSULT COMMANDMENTS TO DOMINATE THE DAY:

• Have a System • Trust No One, Expect Sabotage • Always Ask at Least One Why • Always Look at the Imaging Yourself • Don’t Worry Alone • Don’t Bury the Lead • Never Lie • Include a Real Assessment and Plan in Your Note • Goals of care are important and individual • Over-communicate

Hosts:

• Dr. Joey Lew, MD, MFA, PGY2, Duke University (@LewActually) • Dr. Patrick Georgoff, MD, Duke University (@georgoff)
