'ello!    This time round we were sadly unable to meet face-to-face and produce all those funny little videos you love but we did have a good chat about BP monitoring, triage, and clinical assessment of neurological presentations.     Thank you to our case contributor Jay, and to everyone who got involved on SoMe with the #MysteryDiagnosis.    Have YOU got a case? We want to read about it! Please submit to: podcast@prem-ed.com   Also, if you have a second, would you like / rate / subscribe please? It means more to us than money itself (well, maybe not).   J&S x   References:  NICE: Major trauma: assessment and initial management The London Major Trauma Triage Decision Tool Spoiler alert! 1 Spoiler alert! 2   * explicit content *
