@@allawee1991 I presume it's NSTEMI with a low risk of mortality using GRACE score because they only gave this patient aspirin and maybe clopidogrel (couldn't hear that well) instead of PCI within 96hrs. With a lower risk NSTEMI, we would do stress test after discharge (sometimes before discharge) to risk stratify them and organise coronary angiography if high risk.
Why does such presentations be done in front of the patient? The patient is treated as an object. Are there research to show patient discomfort during such one sided presentations? Asking the patient permission is always be enforcing upon them. This presentation could have easily be done away from the patient and allowed him his dignity.
great points. I would suggest making some changes to this presentation to make it more patient friendly. First, the presenter should be SITTING not standing. And parts of the presentation should be directed to the patient to include them rather than make them feel like they are a 3rd party being talked about. When done well, these presentations are meant to help the patient understand what the team is thinking, and include them in better understanding the plan for the day
