CHFT Case of the Week 7
This weeks case features a young man presenting to CRH with a femur fracture. It discusses cognitive biases and how we might fall in to traps when assessing patients outside of the usual environment i.e. trauma at CRH. Cognitive biases are everywhere and applicable to every patient we see – and a lot of decisions outside of work! There is also discussion around approach to trauma patients and management of femur fractures for people that have not done ATLS.
