Neurology examination (basic fundamental)
Student, house officer, medical officer hates the most ! neurology system. Coz, no particular song lyrics to sing ! all other system got same chores to sing.-Inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation.
To me, neurology famous song would be look and proceed + investigator.
The rule no 1- when ask to look at the face, please do look for upper and lower limb grossly also ! This is what i called LOOK thoroughtLY !
Rule no 2-Pretend yourself as a wireman,
rule of thumb - for neuro, first ,level of lesion-brain, cerebellum, brain stem, spinal cord, anterior horn , peripheral nerve or muscle.
After that second question- left or right brain or level of lesion
lAST-cause of the lesion
Then bingo- You are PASSED.
rule no 3- don't panic- apply for all
Rule no 4- common thing come first-apply for ALL physical examination.
Rule no 5- use your rule no2 rule then give the diagnosis with statement like this is a 40 year old (middle-aged) gentleman with left hemiparesis which is due to right cerebral infarct. etc..
Bingo, you are passed then just answer all the question.......to get better marks.
Good luck, the next will be cranial nerve. If you like the blog, pls do CLICK on google ads on top or side to show APPreciation! Your appreciation is my best inspiration!
