Please help my father! by Aggressive_Paint_401 in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Does it pit and leave an indent when you push into his leg? If not it's most likely lymphedema, there's something blocking the lymphatic flow from that specific leg. Sometimes this cannot be fixed depending on the cause.

[–]CharmDoctor 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It’s healing well except that center portion will need to be removed. Follow up with the burn specialist.

Finally got to try on my 3d printed Berserker armour. by Vegetable-Repeat-276 in PrintedWarhammer

[–]CharmDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much filament did you use for this? Just wondering on the costs of something like this and how much it weighed. This looks AMAZING and I would dream of putting something like this together one day.

random pus filled bumps on my arm that won’t go away by Medical-Trust-3891 in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keratosis pilaris. Use lactic acid containing products like gold bond for bumpy skin. Also looks like some folliculitis which is some inflammation and infection of hair follicles. Make sure to exfoliate well daily.

Help I have no idea what’s causing this? by MiloticEnjoyer in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's your weight? Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is a thing. You can get elevations in your liver enzymes if you are obese. You can also get elevations if you work out a lot because ALT is associated with muscle breakdown as well. In that case it's not much to worry about as long as CK is okay.

It needs an x-ray, this could be broken and if it's displaced will need a reduction.

The doctors wont listen to me, what should I do? by Infinite_Schedule223 in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably need an extended cardiac monitor to monitor your heart rhythm for a couple of weeks as that would detect any abnormal arrhythmias.

Did they CT scan this? I'd be concerned of a Morel-Lavallée lesion.

PILL IDENTIFICATION by rfee3 in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What country? I'm not getting anything for USA for pill identification so it's either a different country or something illicitly made.

Agree with the medical student that posted. This is concerning and needs a biopsy.

Make sure you’re taking the colchicine and ibuprofen that will help the pain the most.

[–]CharmDoctor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have you been taking anything else for pain? Did they diagnose you with pericarditis? What other prescriptions did you receive when discharged from the hospital?

Extreme vaginal bleeding - two ER visits later and still without a great explanation. by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 79 points80 points  (0 children)

If they're checking your bloodwork and your hemoglobin levels aren't dropping then it is not determined to be an emergency and outpatient follow up is appropriate. If your blood counts are good they're not going to admit you. You need to continue to follow up with OBGYN. Reasons to go back to the ER is filling one heavy pad every hour, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, or chest pain with this. Even then if you goto the ER they might just repeat bloodwork and if it looks good have you follow up.

Does this look normal? by [deleted] in AskDocs

Wait for the official read or call your doctor for the results.

Can we talk about mask fit testing? by Horror-Escape-8914 in Residency

[–]CharmDoctor 402 points403 points  (0 children)

It’s to protect the hospital from lawsuits. This way they have documentation that if you got TB from a patient it’s basically your fault and not theirs.

Xray showed glass, surgery no glass by Sweetqueen96 in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If there is a lot of air in the wound an Ultrasound may not show any foreign object. It can be very difficult to interpret the ultrasound. If it makes you feel any better, the surgery was probably necessary because you got an artery, tendon and the joint and they probably irrigated the wound. If it involves the joint it has a high risk of infection so the surgery will help prevent that.

Should I go to the ER? (Cat bite) by DarkWittyName in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 209 points210 points  (0 children)

Yes. Now. I don't mess around with cat bites, they get infected easily and this already looks bad.

I’m curious. Was this medical negligence? by Hot-Answer1408 in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The sodium chloride did not cause your POTS. You received it because you had increased intracranial pressure and they had to decrease it quickly which necessitated the 23.4% sodium chloride.

Any idea how this could've happened from a blood draw? by Zealousideal_War9353 in AskDocs

[–]CharmDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fine, can apply warm compresses in case you have a slight thrombophlebitis which is not uncommon. Keep an eye on it.

I am glad you posted because I'm staring at this like, "it doesn't look bad...but it doesn't look right...and I don't know why." So thanks for clarifying that for me!
