Week commencing 02/01/2013
Happy New Year! Back in clinic and it is very quiet, or at least it is for the 4th years. I was in Chapman clinic for the first morning and then General clinic for the rest of the week (only a short week, 3 days).
A total of 5 patients in this first week, all of them returning patients that I've seen before. It's nice to see my regulars!
My returning CCA patient has informed me of an episode of hemoptysis which is being investigated by the GP via an x-ray. As it was a one off occurrence we aren't overly concerned but it's a first for me as part of a presentation. This patient has also been diagnosed with cellophane macular degeneration which is another first.....again this is being monitored at Moorfields Eye Hospital.
I have a regular patient who I am treating for resolving adhesive capsulitis in the right Glenohumeral Joint. Mr Spencer has questioned the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis as it has only been ongoing for around 8 months, he advised that it is a good practice to constantly consider your initial diagnosis and it's ok to change your mind as treatment progresses.
