A thought provoking question from a medical student today as we discussed #CrazySocks4Docs:
“We all walk around wearing socks & I know it’s gotta do with mental health, but really...does it make any difference? What’s the use?”
So here is the difference I see:
💁🏾♀️Increased awareness of mental health in doctors
Did you know:
📌21% doctors have had depression
📌Medical students report higher rates of general distress & specific mental health diagnoses
📌1:4 doctors had suicidal ideation prior to the last 12months
2/ 5yo F presents to the general practice clinic with a fever & a rash. Mum has been giving her paracetamol & ibuprofen, but it hasn’t seemed to really help.
🤦🏻♀️Oh no! Not a fever & a rash!
🤷🏼What are your differentials?
🤷🏽♂️What additional info would you like on history & exam?
