My return to Yorkhill as a registrar in paediatrics and starting in neurology. The challenges of acute paediatric on call - a child with very severe meningitis but an excellent outcome. Learning lessons about the importance of seeing the child and not the investigations - limitations of brain scans. A girl with what appeared to be Guillain-Barré syndrome but turned out to be something much longer lasting. All backed up with an explanation about meningitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy - an immune mediated condition affecting the nerves.
