@MichaelOkun @AnaCaprara @grepmeded @AvrahamCooperMD @DxRxEdu @Sthanu5 @MohamedEDEMBELE @DrJC_08 @AaronGoodman33 @BrownHospMed @NicoGagelmann Thank you, Dr. Michael Okun @MichaelOkun.
I appreciate your comment. I am applying this year for a neurology residency in the US. My YOG is 2020. I shadowed the neurology department for almost my entire graduation (>5y). 1/
@MichaelOkun @AnaCaprara @grepmeded @AvrahamCooperMD @DxRxEdu @Sthanu5 @MohamedEDEMBELE @DrJC_08 @AaronGoodman33 @BrownHospMed @NicoGagelmann I learn 'gait' by hearing the sound of footsteps. For every pt, my teacher would put us behind a wall (blocking our direct view of the patient). In my hospital, there are exactly 20 steps from where the pt wait to enter the medical room. @MichaelOkun @macNeuro

@MichaelOkun @AnaCaprara @grepmeded @AvrahamCooperMD @DxRxEdu @Sthanu5 @MohamedEDEMBELE @DrJC_08 @AaronGoodman33 @BrownHospMed @NicoGagelmann @macNeuro My professor called the pt. After the pt sat, she put us in front of the pt. Then, we should provide a complete description of the characteristics of the gait. time, velocity, n passes, turns, frictions, walker, cane, stops, what touched the floor 1st.. @MichaelOkun @macNeuro 3/
@MichaelOkun @AnaCaprara @grepmeded @AvrahamCooperMD @DxRxEdu @Sthanu5 @MohamedEDEMBELE @DrJC_08 @AaronGoodman33 @BrownHospMed @NicoGagelmann @macNeuro A phrase that I could never forget her saying: "a good neurologist does the diagnosis by the sound." I appreciate your comment only brought me good memories.
