00:00 - 00:03Lewis: Today we have two cases on our elective list
00:04 - 00:05The first is a lady with backpain
00:05 - 00:07For this case we plan to do a posterior interbody fusion
00:08 - 00:12For the second case, she has a grade 1 degenerative spondy
00:12 - 00:15And therefore also needs fusion, ideally front and back ofcourse
00:17 - 00:19Dr Hall: no need to do a fusion on either
00:19 - 00:21Non op for the first patient, and decompression alone for second
00:24 - 00:26Lewis: But Boss...
00:27 - 00:28We thought ...
00:31 - 00:33...we thought the grade 1 spondy needs stabilising (Steven)
00:34 - 00:36Steven: She has sagitally orientated facets
00:53 - 00:58Dr Hall: everyone leave the room except Steven, Varman, Anum, and Lewis
01:13 - 01:15Dr Hall: You fucking idiots always want to do the latest thing!
01:15 - 01:17Not everybody needs a fusion!
01:18 - 01:23I have done thousands of decompressions and have NEVER seen a patient come back with a problem
01:25 - 01:28Why do you want to make a quick case...
01:29 - 01:31...into three hours of fucking around
01:31 - 01:34and not to mention unnecessary complications and harm
01:34 - 01:37I should report you to the medical council for incompetence
01:37 - 01:40Have you learnt nothing during your time at the RAH?
01:40 - 01:42Varman: But we thought given her backpain...
01:42 - 01:46Mr Hall: Backpain! Christ, we can only make that worse you fool!
01:46 - 01:48But Boss, her discs light up on CT SPECT
01:48 - 01:52I dont give a flying fuck about her SPECT
01:53 - 01:54Waste of resources!
01:56 - 01:57We never had that fancy imaging in my day
01:57 - 02:00The patient is 85years old
02:00 - 02:03Just get them off the table as fast as possible
02:04 - 02:08Why waste 3hours of your life, and our precious healthcare dollars
02:08 - 02:13And hearing Aaron harp on about screw harmony, I couldnt take it, it'd drive me mad!
02:14 - 02:16And even Simon asks this same question every Thursday SDM
02:17 - 02:21A decompression takes most of us 45minutes if done properly
02:27 - 02:29Except Yuchow who can do it in 30
02:30 - 02:34But then spends an hour ensuring adequate haemostasis
02:34 - 02:36and they still get a haematoma..
02:41 - 02:42...despite the drain
02:43 - 02:47And if i hear about one more patient requiring a fusion
02:48 - 02:53I will personally write to RACS and have you running pain clinics the rest of your career
02:54 - 02:56Which will be short lived
02:56 - 02:59You have all been brainwashed by industry and surgeons from the eastern states
03:00 - 03:02front, back, 360, fusion...rubbish!
03:04 - 03:07Annum: its ok we can put the patient on Matthews list
03:14 - 03:16My Hall: My consultant colleagues are no better
03:19 - 03:23The other day Aaron said to me "We have to move with the times"
03:25 - 03:26Cancel my list
03:31 - 03:33My gum has lost its flavour
03:40 - 03:46At least Leeanne will be happy with the outcome, as the fellows will be confined to clinic..
03:46 - 03:49where they belong, and wont have an excuse..
03:53 - 03:56..to not do virtuals
