Shadow health minister? (86/365 2013)
March 27th. Love Health (get pushed) for the 365 and shadows for the 52 (get in!)
Tool of the trade which has seen much better days.
Mind you with the advent of technology, so have the amazing listening ears of the cardiologist. There used to be text books written about cardiac noises - how the position, loudness and character of the noise or murmur would enable the astute to make an anatomical diagnosis. Nowadays you whack on technology and you can see where and what the problem is. This is true of all areas of medicine, where technology is changing the face of diagnostics. this is of course a good thing - diagnosis is reached quicker and often more correctly. however, a problem still needs to be suspected to ensure the right test is done. And that requires listening and thought. How long I wonder until technology replaces the enquiring mind?
