This recent blog post from Stanford Medicine 25 explores five tactics to enhance patient communication at the bedside. This important subject reminds us of these powerful words from Francis Weld Peabody: "One of the essential qualities of the clinician is an interest in humanity, for the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient." https://lnkd.in/e7kAs7un

The cerebellum coordinates unconscious regulation of balance, muscle tone and voluntary movements. Therefore, cerebellar disease (including cerebellar stroke, cerebritis and metabolic insults) leads to clinical signs that occur throughout the body. In this popular video from our archives, Abraham Verghese and Errol Ozdalga, MD, demonstrate the cerebellum physical examination.

The cardiac second sound (the "dub") can be a source of some confusion. However, subtle changes of the second heart sound can tell you a great deal about the heart. Visit https://lnkd.in/euxF866Z for a review of basics associated with listening for the second heart sounds, plus a summary of pathological findings. #Cardiology #BedsideMedicine

Advice for medical students and residents, from #StanfordMed25's Michelle Chiu: "Real patients are never as straightforward as the textbooks will suggest; everyone has different anatomy and sometimes it can be frustrating to practice skills and not get the result you expected. Keep working on your skills and remember, the patient can be an invaluable asset to your learning. Many times the patient will know what exam findings they have and/or if adjustments had to be made to elicit them in the past."
