If you are around there do attend it, since for most of us at AMMC, Second life is a game but what we do in AMMC is part a game but also very serious, so games for health is pretty much a title we can relate to!!

Geriatric Emergency Medical Care presented by Dr. Yoghas Etchegaray

With the population in the world increaing in age, there is a much greater need for understanding the health issues of the elderly, especially in ED care. Dr Y gave an interesting and interactive lecture on some of the problems facing medicine, and emergency med in particular, as the world’s population ages. This attendee was surprised to learn that a high percentage of elderly coming to the ED with other problems, like a fall, are in delirium and that they are released from the hopital without ever being treated for delirium. In fact, the statistic is that 38% of elderly in deliruim who visit an ED are released and never treated.

To clear the confusion, delirium is an acute condition and is treatable, whereas dementia has a long onset and is usually not treatable. Dr Y said that a lot of times simply hydrating the patient reverses the delirium. It is very scary to this student to know that so many EDs are missing the signs and releasing people who could be easily treated and helped.

Keep an eye on our blog and join us in Second life! Dr Y will be giving a conference on delirium and will be giving further talks on Emergency medicine.

Case Presentation in Second Life

Yesterday, we had a meeting in Second Life, the virtual world at the Ann Myers Medical Center. One of our educators did a case presentation by giving us a textfile that contained the anamnesis and all the important physical signs.

It was followed by some brainstorming. We had to discuss what kind of tests we would order and what kind of diagnoses we were thinking about. One of the members of the National Board of Medical Examiners. It was a great experience again.

The solution was Cat Eye Syndrome. More than interesting!

Let us know if you would like to participate in the next exercise either as a medical student or a physician.
