thatonekid Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well, I knew it wasn't Lupus, because that's what watching House has taught me about medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I guessed muscular dystrophy.. just didn't know which kind. Or is that an extremely broad diagnosis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkthlttr Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Well, I knew it wasn't Lupus, because that's what watching House has taught me about medicine. Lol. That was a fascinating read, especially the last bit in the answer column. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Fascinating because I had never even heard of the final diagnosis, and we've already covered the material that corresponds to her presentation and the organ involved in class (trying to be vague here so as not to ruin the mystery for others!). Just shows you why the training process is so long and why we have specialists. Maybe I'll encounter this in clerkship or GP residency, but maybe not! Lifelong learning FTW.

I'm really surprised that you guys don't do glycogen storage diseases in MS1. I wonder if this is standard across Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviathan Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'm really surprised that you guys don't do glycogen storage diseases in MS1. I wonder if this is standard across Canada. Most Canadian schools focus on learning the more common stuff in detail rather than teaching about zebras. I'm curious if other schools teach about the GSDs though.

Gavanshir Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I guess it's because it's on the USMLE, so schools that teach towards the exam would include it in their curriculum. Definitely an important part of biochem in first term at SGU and I assume they are at Saba too and most American schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebouque Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I go to a Canadian school. The disease of the case was mentionned a few times in our heme and msk class. However, we didn't have a whole lecture on glycogen storage diseases. We did cover them briefly in our clerkship in pediatrics though. And I guess leviathan is right about teaching common stuff in detail rather that seeing all the zebras. we spent maybe 10-12 hours on diabetes in preclerkship. However I like the ''American approach''. It's more thorough and scientific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
