Um what you said, maybe in case people can join. So it should be recording then. OK. Those who have joined so far, we give it a few minutes, of course, because it's not seven yet. And then we'll see how many people show up. We might not have too much of an audience today because it's our first one back. So we'll see. Should we just say like a five past start, Rohan five? Yeah, I think we'll say five past otherwise we, I've been running over and it's already quite late for people, isn't it? So, um I'll put that in the, in the chart. Well, I'm just gonna start in a few minutes guys. So good time we'll start at about five past. OK. So I think we'll start there because it's five past now. So, um thank you every everybody for coming. Um So my name is Rohan. I'm one of the final year medical students at Cambridge and I'm uh part of the prescribing the essential teaching team. So I'm very excited today to be um giving our first talk in a long time. We took a bit of a break for exam, but I'm going to be giving this talk on dizziness. Thank you all for attending. Um We're gonna follow the usual structure just so that everybody knows at the start then um there's gonna be a handout being sent out. So don't worry about taking notes and things and if I say anything that isn't on the slides, it will be in the handout. So don't worry about that. Um Yeah, also so that everybody knows the talk is being recorded. Um So you can watch it afterwards. Um But obviously the viewers are anonymous and none of you will be seen on the recording. So don't worry about that either. Ok. So let's get straight into it. So today we're going to be talking about dizziness, which is a very, you know, common medical presentation as a wide differential diagnosis. So it's an important one to go into. Um We're gonna start by talking about a differential diagnosis of dizziness, talk about how we can split that differential based on the type of dizziness and then how we can subcategorise each type. We're then gonna talk about how we can take a history to narrow down our differential diagnosis before doing examination with the same name. Then we'll have a quick quiz so that it becomes a bit interactive and then we'll talk about three conditions which cause dizziness in a bit more detail. So these will be MS acoustic neuroma and B PPP. And then we'll end with another quiz on those topics. OK. So hopefully that sounds OK. So we'll start with a differential diagnosis of dizziness. So firstly, with how to split the differential in terms of dizziness, dizziness is a very vague word. And many patients will mean different things when they say the word dizziness. So for a logical way to split the differential diagnosis of dizziness is based on what the patient actually means. And classically in textbooks, you'll see it split into four different types of dizziness. So when you ask the patient, what do you actually mean by that?
