Not Playdough, Not Surgery 🔍🕵🏻‍♂️ - Dermatology Cases
.
If you’ve been following along on my @Instagram stories, you’ll know my kid is very into ‘solving mysteries’ these days. I’ve set up a different mystery around the house each weekend working on inductive reasoning, problem solving, reading skills, etc. We recently discussed how doctors are often mystery solvers when diagnosing an illness - in fact, “we’re looking for clues to solve a mystery” is a common analogy I use with my own patients when explaining how we approach work up for complicated conditions.

We took a break from the playdough this weekend to work through some common ‘skin mysteries’ with the help of a few furry friends. We learned about using our ears to listen👂🏻to the patient’s story, eyes to look 👀 and touch 🤚🏻 to feel for key findings in a physical exam, and he reminded ME about the importance of empathy ❤️ in every encounter - but it was apparent he was dying to get more use out of his scalpel. I guess we’ll be back to the playdough next week!
