The GenerEhlist - CCFP Exam Prep, Low Risk Obstetr

Written By: Vaishvi Patel, a fourth-year medical student from the University of Alberta Ronan Noble an MD/PhD student also from the University of Alberta Expert Review By: Dr. Henry Ma, PGY2 FM at UofA Objectives: In all patients presenting with multiple medical concerns (e.g., complaints, problems, diagnoses), take an appropriate history to determine the primary reason for the consultation. In all patients presenting with multiple medical concerns, prioritize problems appropriately to develop an agenda that both you and the patient can agree upon (i.e., determine common ground). In a patient with multiple medical complaints (and/or visits), consider underlying depression, anxiety, or abuse (e.g., physical, medication, or drug abuse) as the cause of the symptoms, while continuing to search for other organic pathology. Periodically re-address and re-evaluate the management of patients with multiple medical problems in order to: • simplify their management (pharmacologic and other) • limit polypharmacy • minimize possible drug interactions • update therapeutic choices (e.g., because of changing guidelines or the patient's situation) In patients with multiple medical problems and recurrent visits for unchanging symptoms, set limits for consultations when appropriate (e.g., limit the duration and frequency of visits).

Written by Sarah Valentine, FM R2 in Victoria, BC Expert Review by Dr Jankowski, Addictions physician in Victoria, BC While this topic doesn't have very many objectives to cover, we're dedicating an entire episode to it given cigarette smoking remains Canada's #1 preventable cause of death and disease (https://www.cmaj.ca/content/197/28/E846). We will also dedicate a little time to the hot button topic that is vaping and review some of the early evidence on health outcomes.

Today we shall be talking about Pneumonia! What an exciting topic. According to Dr William Osler considered to be the "father of modern medicine" and who trained at McGill, pneumonia is known as "the old man's friend" he wrote, ""Pneumonia may well be called the friend of the aged. Taken off by it in an acute, not often painful illness, the old man escapes those 'cold gradations of decay' so distressing to himself and his friends." Dr. Olser himself died from complications of pneumonia. Pneumonia has a fascinating history as it has been with humanity for many centuries. Symptoms of pneumonia were first described by Hippocrates around 460 BC, but it wasn't until the 19th century that doctors were aware pneumonia was its own condition and not a symptom of another disease. Interesting tidbits of pneumonia related history, Dr. Edwin Klebs was the first person to observe bacteria causing pneumonia under the microscope in 1875 and the bacterial genus klebsiella was named after him. Strep pneumonia, commonest cause of CAP was the first bacteria to be gram stained to distinguish gram positive from gram negative bacteria by Hans Christian Gram in 1884. Hence the name "Gram" stain. The Spanish Flu in 1918, which was an H1N1 influenza A pandemic, killed more people than the first world war in combat, resulting in approximately 20-50 million deaths, and was the second most deadly pandemic on record. In comparison, Covid19 worldwide deaths stand at around 7 million according to the WHO in November 2023. Alright, we could talk all day about pneumonia history, but its time to focus on CCFP objectives for pneumonia!

Authors: Veronica Oczkowski (MS4) and Andrea Brabant (rFM PGY-2) Content Expert and Reviewer: Dr. Matt Strickland According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than nine people die every minute from injuries or violence. A total of 5.8 million people of all ages and economic groups die every year from unintentional injuries and violence. The burden of injury accounts for 18% of the world's total diseases. Motor vehicle crashes alone cause more than 1 million deaths annually and an estimated 20 million to 50 million significant injuries; they are the leading cause of death due to injury worldwide. Traumatic presentations are unfortunately quite common, so it's important we get comfortable with a strong approach. Our goal today is in no way to complete an exhaustive review. That being said, we did our best to prepare a brief overview that allows us to cover the CCFP objectives. Get ready. This is a pretty robust topic to cover, so buckle up!!

A quick hello to meet the force behind all things Geriatrics in Family medicine in the GenerEHlist family.

Obesity Canada published a guideline in 2020 that we will be referring to a lot in this episode. It defines obesity as a chronic, progressive and relapsing disease characterized by the presence of adiposity that impairs health and social well-being. So today you'll learn what you need to know for the exam, but also some practical considerations for real life visits that take into account the pressures of diet culture, and how we as physicians can provide evidence based advice that doesn't isolate and judge our patients. And because we know language matters, you'll hear us use terms like "large bodies", instead of saying someone is fat. There are advocates who have reclaimed the term fat, but today we'll stick with medical jargon and terms aimed to avoid stigma.
