This was the last tutorial in this cycle.
We start the next cycle on Monday 18th. November
Tonight we had 2 roleplays and 2 vivas.

Roleplay 1.


Candidate's Instructions.

You are a SpR and delivered this patient, Mrs Janice Idlewit, of her first baby using the ventouse six weeks ago.
She has been referred back to the clinic and there is no one else to see her.
The GP letter says: “Please see Mrs. Idlewit. Unfortunately some incompetent left a swab behind when she had her recent delivery and repair of episiotomy. She saw me a couple of weeks later complaining of discharge. I must say that when I examined her the stench nearly knocked me over and quite put me off my food for days. I removed what looked like a clot or swab and took swabs for bacteriology. I sent the removed object to the laboratory and they confirmed that it was a surgical swab. The swabs I took did not identify a pathogen. I had prescribed antibiotics and I am pleased to say that she is now well. I have told her that somebody has been incompetent and should be shot. She is hopping mad”.
