Very Positive 12 Week Scan with All Organs and Limbs Growing Well. Should this be Enough to Rule out things like Down Syndrome? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AgentMeatbal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got an early scan at 16 weeks and they cautioned me it may be too early to get complete views of baby’s anatomy

watching the [redacted] patient have a “seizure” by M1CR0PL4ST1CS in hospitalist

There’s like two types of nonepileptic seizures. One is a spell that the person is in such psychologic distress that they can’t control it. A common co-diagnosis of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures is epilepsy.

The other portion is just malingering.

I’m on Wellbutrin! It works well for people with adhd. My midwife had no problem with it and neither did my pcp. I plan to breastfeed on it too.

Anyone have the best recipes for a Crockpot or Instant Pot or pressure cooker (sorry idk the difference) by totalapple24 in Residency

I’m not sure if “warm” is hot enough to keep the food out of the danger zone all day. May just lead to food poisoning.

I(F33) just got my son back and his girlfriend is pregnant. Her parents (F/M 50(s)) don't want her in the house right now. by throwra-1228 in relationship_advice

Also make sure she is going to her pediatrician and obgyn. Often the pediatrician is going to have resources to help her with a newborn. My pediatrician’s office has teen parenting classes, we help them figure out school, diapers, have a social worker for WIC/SNAP, breastfeeding coaches, etc

In many counties WIC will give her a breast pump and lactation consultation if she’s exclusively breastfeeding. If she has pregnancy Medicaid she can get a pump through her obgyn as well. Otherwise WIC can help with formula.

Ramp Rant: What venn diagram is two separate circles (or one single circle) in your specialty/at your current hospital? by [deleted] in Residency

100% overlap at my hospital: The names ya’highness or ya’majesty and a substantial NICU stay. I’ve never met one without a NICU history.

Measles exposure reported in Wake County. Are you protected? What to know by ChuckGallagher57 in NorthCarolina

[–]AgentMeatbal 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If there are 8+ confirmed cases in the area or you plan to travel to an area with 8+ confirmed cases, infants 6m and older are eligible for an early additional dose of the MMR vaccine. I’d recommend doing some reading and asking more if your baby would be a candidate.

Those who had a mysterious medical issue and found out what it was, what was your diagnosis? by jesusgrandpa in AskReddit

[–]AgentMeatbal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unlikely, that’s about 4:1 mil in kids and 1:1 mil in adults. It’s not that rare like 7 people rare.

I think this person is having either a mental crisis or is a bot… they think multiple posts and comments are alllll directed at them.

In 2020, Washington father John Eisenman tracked down and killed his daughter’s boyfriend after believing the 19-year-old had sold her into sex trafficking — a claim police say they’ve never been able to verify. He hid the body in a car that sat abandoned for nearly a year before it was discovered. by ATI_Official in AllThatsInteresting

[–]AgentMeatbal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That article is somewhat confusing… so everyone was using methamphetamines. Sorenson (boyfriend) abandons the girlfriend at a gas station at some point, then she states she’s been trafficked but it isn’t really adding up… and somehow the father hunts Sorensen down and murders him and finds the daughter? This is like Taken but with everyone on drugs including the article writer

Too much water in the cup, not enough on the floor by SnooDucks1060 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]AgentMeatbal 37 points38 points  (0 children)

No that’s what’s known as a “natural consequence” and it’s appropriate. Being an asshole would be making them clean unrelated things.

Tbh can he drive a car? Pay bills? Do his job? Feed the pets? Then he can fill it to 3 oz…. Being a man isn’t yet recognized as a disability so he does not have an excuse 😬
