About this episode

It's 2am. The ED calls. 83-year-old. Found on the kitchen floor. On warfarin. Right hip. Shortened and externally rotated. What do you do first? In this episode we walk through the full ED assessment of a neck of femur fracture — analgesia, the guidelines, what to do about the warfarin, and how to hand over to the orthopaedic team in a way that actually helps. This is First Bleep — scenario-based clinical teaching for junior doctors. Real calls. Real learning. Ten minutes at a time.
