After a tough fortnight at work I decided to change things up a bit at our Multi-disciplinary team meeting this morning.

We’ve been using an iPad to take notes from the meeting for a while now, and today I tried to make it a more multi-media affair.

As well as recording the patients’ stories I also tried to match each of them to an appropriate piece of music.

The rather diverse playlist and patient list eventually became:

Tammy Wynette – Stand by your man – after discussing a man whose ex-wife had returned to look after him.

Imagine Dragons – Radioactive – the correct pronunciation of a patient’s surname.

Avril Lavigne – Complicated – a patient’s complex family dynamic.

The Black Eyed Peas – Where Is The Love – a patient’s long-term relationship with their spouse.

Alicia Keys – Falling – a patient who had repeatedly been falling…over.

Bob Dylan – Blowin’ in the Wind – a patient with malignant bowel obstruction who had started passing flatus.

Cheers,

James
