If you have a look at the Pennine GP Training website, go to the MRCGP section, look at the CSA case videos, look at consultation 3 and there is a download that plots the consultations skills on display for this video against the timeline. So play the video and use the timeline to see the wide array of skills displayed

For those of you saying that the consultation is too long, it is the way of breaking bad news! Patients need time to digest information and I think she has done an amazing job. And please focus on her soft skills, her dress code is not relevant in this case. In reality, she may be dressing inappropriately, but that's not the main point of the video. One thing I do agree is that she has skipped the step of inviting any patients' relatives to hear the bad news at the beginning. But she did mention about it at the end, so I think it is a very minor mistake.

On the contrary, dress code is very relevant, especially in a real consultation, which this is supposed to mimic. It reflects professionalism, which couldn't be more important in a serious situation like breaking bad news.

the best thing she could mange is the time factor ...but I have some note on her : 1-she didn't ask the patient if he prefers to get the information now or latter ....if he prefers to be with company or alone before Breaking the Bad News 2-she should have said .(tumor) not Cancer initially , that would be less scary 3-she should be more empathetic with him . 4-ask how would he go back home and if he prefers someone with him ....safer 5- provide availability for the patient.. she may provided him with contact Number of the clinic for any inquiry .these are some suggestion but generally she was good :)

Breaking bad news is good and appropriate, However in management everything was thrown on specialist. I'd suggest to give more information about treatment i.e chem/radio and surgical and other management such as pain control, mcmillan and support group. I'd add the social impact of the patient after having the bad news such as pancreas Ca.

Quite good for a BBN consultation. Pauses by doc could probably be a bit longer still.... give him more time to absorb and fire his first question even sometimes without her having to ask. At 4:40 and just before - CUES about "im only 47" and a few others just before this.... "I'm really sorry to have to break" but it doesn;t seem as empathetic as I was expecting for someone showcasing it on KZread and saying "done well".

I personally think this is great up untill the last part. Is it not premature to be giving the patient information on pancreatic cancer? as the mass could be a number of things: for example an iron deposit caused by primary hemochromatosis. Why is the doctor only printing off information for cancer and not the other possible conditions?! There are a lot of conditions that can cause a mass and it feels like the doctor has already decided that the patient has cancer even though the mass has not been biopsied. It is not definitively cancer. If that mass comes back as an iron deposit as a result of hemochromatosis, that patient is going to be quite upset. If the mass is benign the doctor has cause undo distress, but it is unlikely the patient will complain as the doctor did say it was not definitive. I think it is a difficult balance to make sure the patient is aware of the risks without terrifying them. If I was that patient I would have thought it was not definitive until the doctor gave me the print out of cancer. I would be so scared that I had cancer and under a lot of stress. So I reiterate my question: is it premature to give a cancer booklet? I think it is and it would be more effective to print out information about the process of getting tested and the stages of testing. The booklet needs to be titled something on the lines of “They found a mass, Now what?” The information proved should have names of test and simple descriptions, including what a biopsy is… I just think this would benefit the patient and tell them what they can do rather than scaring them.

3years ago. My uncle went to hospital for his treatment. That time he got to know that he is suffering from the fourth stage cancer. He could not believe and he didn't tell us.when he came back from hospital we asked him about what is the reason. What doctors said him.why he is getting weaker. Than he told us there is no serious thing. Every thing is allright. Next 6 months he used to go at his job. He was the constable in hariyana police. He used to eat painkillers. When we brought him in hospital. After ct scan doctors declared that he has only 2 months left. After tow months he died. Now we are regretting that if we started his cancer treatment before six months then there was a chance to save his life.

her body language is not suitable with the situation

Given so many people commenting (especially men) are obsessed and slathering about the modest amount of cleavage on this doctor, I worry greatly about these men going anywhere near a woman for a breast examination - or any kind of intimate examination. They are the very kind that female patients complain about.

@swcoast

5 жыл бұрын

You don't see the point. It's about whether it's appropriate for the setting, which it is not. In the context of a breast examination, it is obviously clinically necessary for the patient to be adequately exposed. Therefore, it would be appropriate and even expected in that clinical context. It wouldn't be an issue. However, as a doctor, a low plunging neckline or cleavage on display is not acceptable. Full stop! She is there in a professional capacity, not having a drink with a friend. Dress code is there for a reason: it projects a professional image and maintains professional boundaries, and all doctors know this from day 1 in medical school: long before they hit the consultation room! Also, you have a strange use of the word "modest" - displaying any cleavage to your patient when you're acting in a professional capacity is excessive. There is nothing modest about it. In fact, that's why half those outfits are designed that way in the first place. Nor is dress code a gender issue either, before you go there. Men are also required to follow dress code, but the truth is that this issue rarely arises with men, because sadly we live in a society where women's outfits are sexually motivated, men's less so - maybe that's a gender issue you should be far more worried about. Ironically, it's something that people like you often fail to complain about.

. No questions about constitution, terrain, lymphatic excess or use rational empirical scientific arguments, not just a prognosis and fear or an in repairable condition that is told will spiral out of control and kill the patient... doctors should speak about how to drain out the cancer through lymphatic system or at least describe that the cancer is a result of a dysfunction of the immune system brought about by lifestyle factors or living.. that once addressed can be corrected. Cancer cultures are nothing but white blood cells that have encapsulated against the viruses and has sorted to metabolise the toxins through the lymphatic system...

In a situation like this I don't think the patient is going to give 2 shits and a fart about her body language.....

. I have been a hospital doctor for 15 years. The doctor is not appropriately dressed. Lots of 'ok' words and unnecessary hand movements on the doctor's part. If any person has a suspicious mass diagnosed on imaging the MDM team gets involved and they have a specialist nurse who breaks the news in the presence of relatives/friends. It's not left to the GP to do that. What a pseudo exam! I am taking my CSA soon! God help me!

Lots of misogynistic comments about the doctor's dress sense from from extremely backward and feeble-minded people rather than anything she actually did or said in the consultation. Shows sexism is alive and well amongst so-called medical professionals around the world. Why is it that so many people 1. Seem to think how a woman chooses to dress is ANY of their business 2. Can't get over their immature, hypersexualised objectification of women? She is feminine, well presented and smartly dressed.

@swcoast

5 жыл бұрын

It's got nothing to do with sexism. Men and women are both required to follow dress code. It's a GMC requirement. A lot of a consultation is not about what one says anyway, it's about non-verbal communication and presentation. So, actually, comments about dress code, especially for a doctor, are very relevant comments. A doctor acts in a professional capacity, so it's actually everyone's business who has contact with the doctor in that role, be it employers, colleagues, and, of course, patients. Not all patients will appreciate it! A doctor also has a wider responsibility to project a professional image of the profession itself. Again, GMC requirement. It is her business when she is acting in the role of herself, i.e. in a personal or social setting - she is seeing patients, not friends for a drink. It does not match the setting. Again, you have no idea of the words you use. "feminine" - I hardly think a woman's femininity is defined purely by how much of her cleavage is on show. I don't know if you realise or not, but that is actually a very demeaning idea, and if this was said by a man, someone like you would regard it as sexist. "Well presented" - perhaps by your standards, which I imagine are not very high, but certainly not by GMC standards - check up on it. "Smartly dressed" - ever noticed how "smart dress" for a woman means she needs cleavage on show, whereas a man can be covered top to bottom and still be considered smart: now that is gender inequality, but you seem to miss that. Finally, I assume you miss the irony in describing comments here as "sexual objectification of women" whilst advocating outfits strategically designed to sexualise women.
