Paucis Verbis card: TIA prognosis

CT showing left parietal ischemic CVA

Here is another installment of the Paucis Verbis (In a Few Words) e-card series on the topic of Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA) from EM Clinics of North America. I use this card a lot specifically for the ABCD2 risk-stratification score.

Feel free to download this card and print on a 4'' x 6'' index card...

Other Paucis Verbis cards:
Shock
CNS Infections

  3. These cards seem great! Did you use them during 3rd and 4th year clerkships at all?

    Thanks!

  4. Hey Anar: I started a peripheral brain during MS3 year and throughout residency. They started as handwritten notes on wads of scrap paper. These cards are a little more published and geared towards the EM resident level now. Enjoy!
