whoRyou Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 WOW! I thought some of you would have already mentioned tuning forks, cell phone (pager), highlighters, or pens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted April 7, 2013 Administrator Share Posted April 7, 2013 WOW! I thought some of you would have already mentioned tuning forks, cell phone (pager), highlighters, or pens The reason I go so light on materials in my white coat is that I have much of what everyone else has mentioned (tuning forks, tongue blades, gloves, etc.) is always available to me in my exam rooms, and most of the rest--iPod, phone, pens--fit in my shirt pocket, so I have them with when I'm seeing pediatric patients, when I leave my coat in my office.

SuperPA_NY Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 your pocket menu best depends on where you work and what you do. Why carry ophthalmoscope if you scrub for surgeries, or urology pocket guide for sports medicine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen0508 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 What antibiotic app do you use?

jwells78 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Dont wear a white coat. Keep epocrates on the phone, EMRA and tarascon in the pocket, some extra otoscope covers, tongue depressors... I like mini RSI sheet and i keep a mini rash/ peds fever algorithm in the EMRA book- for old times sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jts Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Never underestimate the use of a good pen! That and my iphone, penlight, and reflex hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk732 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I only wear mine in the ER as extra body armour and only in the office if I'm cold, but when I do: stethoscope, several pens, stamper for Rx so the phamacist can read my signature, a collection of quick ref books, a small eye chart (I only just got an app for my iPhone for that), a tube of EMLA or Maxilene cream to stick on kiddies arms if I think they're going to need an IV or venicpuncture and my calling card wallet in case someone I see wants to follow up with me at the clinic. If I remember it from the office, I bring my headlamp as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorKramer Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Usually don't wear lab coat (emergency). At least three pens, stethoscope, trauma shears, smart phone (with epocrates). If I think of it before the shift it is nice to have: pocket eye chart, bandages, tongue depressors, EMRA antibiotic guide, PALS insert. Got rid of these: reflex hammer (you can use your hand or steth), pen light (use otoscope wall mounts, hopefully they are working...), all pocket books (except EMRA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
