The author has used this home made videoscopic trainer for more than 12 months and found it very helpful and practical for refining laparoscopic skills. It is strongly recommended to all surgeons and trainees embarking on laparoscopic work.
Transfer the expertise rather than the patient! With the help of a screen and a videocamera the general practitioner requiring expert help in diagnosis is able to consult the specialists directly via the broadband ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), and referrals complemented with audio-visual material can also be transmitted via the network. Modern telemedicine technology enables hospitals to be linked up, advanced information to be transmitted, interpreter services to be enlisted, and continuous postgraduate training to be developed. Thus, time and money can be saved, the patients given better and faster service, and the quality of health care enhanced.
In today's health service, doctors cannot avoid teaching or lectures. Visual aids are an important part of any successful presentation. Adequate overheads and slides can be easily made using ordinary office equipment and simple cameras. Modern computers and laser printers are also an exciting medium for producing visual aids. Nevertheless, if the talk is to achieve its purpose, good pictures must be presented in the correct way, along with an absorbing commentary. Both these aspects of presentation technique require careful preparation, but are seldom taught to medical students or junior staff as a necessary tool for their future work as doctors.
