🚨🚑December's #RapidRecap looks at Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures #PNES, helping us move past the historical pejorative term "pseudo-seizures". Distinguishing between epileptic seizures and PNES is often challenging and with caution - see #JRCALC for further guidance. 🚑🚨

🚑 The prehospital assessment of abdo pain can be challenging, with multiple pt streaming options available. How can we enhance our assessment?
1. Comprehensive and structured hx-taking.
2. Thorough physical exam.
3. An underpinning knowledge of potential causes.

☀️🥵#RapidRecap -Heat illness 🥵☀️. Heat stress > heat exhaustion > heat stroke > mortality. Early consideration, recognition, and intervention are essential to improving patient outcomes. Hot weather and older adults are not the only ones at risk of heat stroke; think raves too.
MSc ✅️....Tough, often overwhelming, yet achievable. A process made easier by having the right people around; a great cohort and top-tier study team.

For me, the outdoors calms the brain at times of pressure, an often-needed reset to baseline. And so, it was perfect timing for our annual hiking trip, this time to Keswick (not quite as tough as the national 3 peaks from last year 😂), and finished with Ladore Falls Spa 🧘♂️🧘♂️🧘♂️

🚨 It's time to crack down.
❌ This year, we've seen a sharp rise in callouts as a result of Easter egg hunts that have gone bad.
🗣️ We think the end of this tradition is long ova due.
