A LITFL call to readers: How do you do ICU ward rounds on the iPad? Share your experiences with us all!

Today, I had the honor and privilege to lead the emergency department ward round at GF Jooste Hospital in Manenberg (Cape Town), South Africa. It was an amazing experience, and one which I will never forget.

The Professor of Surgery leads his Professorial train on a ward round the night before surgery.
“Look, Mr. Arbuckle. I’m the Professor. You’re no good the way you are. So tomorrow, I’m going to fix you. There are some risks, but you don’t need to worry about them. OK? See you tomorrow.”
The surgical team left the old man’s bedside as the ward round came to an end. “That chap’s really not with it is he?”, said the Surgeon to his House Officer. “Perhaps we should get the medics to have a look at him. Do you think his state of confusion is acute or chronic?”.
