But in the net, it is written like this?!

Take a read

Around a decade ago, I used to get phone calls from a very smart Neurology registrar (post DM) who after having discussed the case in the ward rounds headed by a Professor, would have the Radiology textbook open in front of him while he quizzed me about the Radiology report and its implications. That inspired me to read some Neurology, to try to keep the balance and take the ball back into his court.

With the information explosion on the net, and informed readers trying to make their own “health maps” one finds questions like...(1) What are the indications of knee transplant? And the types of options available. (Gone are the days when Radiologists could write Implant noted in situ…and get away with it) (2) What is the difference between fibromyalgia and neuralgia?

(3) What is the difference between Fransceschetti’s and Treacher Collin’s syndrome in a case of Mandibulofacial dysostosis?

In coming blogs we can examine some of the issues arising from Clinicians setting the pace to report better/differently and also the new WWW armed New-Age patient who belongs to the Cult of “Latest-Technology-Treatment” who knows a lot of jargon about Thyrotoxicosis, cosmetic surgery and autosomal dominant diseases with variable penetration!
