Having electronic notes at work is a life saver but I can’t help but feel we’re forgetting the ancient scrolls

I’ve just finished prep for PYR and I’m not kidding it took me a day and a half. We were told last Friday we had 5 days to complete it (i.e deadline was 19th) as if we don’t have lives? On calls? Illness?

A patient with GI bleeding can be in shock despite having a normal blood pressure (Class 1 and 2 shock). A low blood pressure indicates Class 3+ shock, equating to at least 1500ml of intravascular volume deficit.
