This is an unusual episode which I didn’t find easy to record. Instead of the working through the clinical story towards a diagnosis, I am asking: what would you do in this situation?

On Christmas Day, I will be snuggled up on the sofa watching TV my pyjamas, but the resident doctors in Acute Medicine will be working hard by day and by night to treat patients and keep them safe.
Hopefully opening a little pressie on Christmas day at work is a tiny token of our appreciation 🎅
