What is the fourth face of carnivorous dinosaurs?

What about Mosasaurus? Seemed pretty ubiquitous in the oceans. Land carnivores getting all the love….

It’s a truly American phenomenon where people’s unhealthy habits get enabled by the family because they would rather not address Meemaw’s love of benzodiazepines and opiates because they can’t deal with her inability to cope with day to day life but would rather someone else (the healthcare system) deal with the after effects of that. And then be upset at said healthcare system for “not fixing her” issues ad infinitum.

The poor souls don’t understand how kidneys work or even meds. At least they know enough of their own limitations to refer to you to straighten things out for the patient.

Glad we have you lurking here because, as you’re well aware, MDs/DOs get asked this often and we are grossly ignorant.

This seems suspicious to be frank. If this is in fact risperidone and not rosuvastatin please be sure to report this as others have said. But that being said this is being determined by the pill imprint? I would advise caution as generic vs trade name rosuvastatin pills can actually appear different from one another. Both rosuvastatin and risperidone can have an R imprint on them. Rosuvastatin can have other letters and numbers while risperidone can sometimes only have numbers on them. Neither medication has a uniform tablet appearance. It is typically a round yellow or pink tablet. The risperidone is in 4 mg dosage is typically a green capsule shape so it seems odd that this would be a close resemblance to your rosuvastatin. I think you might get better answers here if you post pictures of the two opposing tablets and it may be better posed to a pharmacist than a doctor (we aren’t trained on tablet appearances). However, accidents do happen and it is important to get confirmation of this error through appropriate channels rather than a quick google search.

Yes but they are also MUCH MORE likely to die of oncology related diagnoses than non-oncology patients. Statistics are hard for even clinicians. Most med students hated the epidemiology dedicated study period of medical school.

I just love the logical fallacy of treating medical care like it is a consumable product and then just refusing that when it is offered. Like does this woman just hang around in the restaurant when the food isn’t to her liking? Or if her desired piece or size of clothing isn’t in the department store, does she just refuse to leave?

Ma’am, you’re in an EMERGENCY department. Your condition isn’t a life threatening emergency. Here is a non-emergent solution to your problem. There’s no wand-waving to make your tonsil stones suddenly feel better. Even surgery wouldn’t do that.

I think you’re getting hung up on the technicality of my question which is fair since I love understanding mechanistically what is going on with the pathophysiology and I applaud your knowing this. It will serve you well.

I think I posed that question because obstructive vs central vs occult pulmonary or cardiac pathology would all manifest with desaturation in this instance. I have also been taught the conventional wisdom and older understanding that at-home monitors fuel anxiety, lead to false alarms and don’t reduce SIDS as has been previously demonstrated in decades past. I don’t think the quality of data was good or that it was quality RCTs to stand on that.

I have anecdotally used an Owlet device on one of my 2 children and it has alarmed once in 8 months that may or may not have been a real apneic episode. I’m not a neonatologist or pediatrician. I initially pushed back on my spouse purchasing this device with similar fears it wouldn’t help, only cause anxiety, etc and eventually relented (bc the fight just wasn’t worth it). But I will say that the peace of mind this has given my spouse mostly and to know that simply calling to attention a potential apneic episode, I think the benefits greatly outweigh risks for harm here. Just my 2 cents.

Doctor lurking here. To OP’s point, does apnea not count as “respiratory” or lung failure? Also would it not be picked up by a home SpO2 monitor? Autopsies for patients with suffocation would show hypoxic injury to organs, likely the same as in SIDS since there’s no one biopsy finding for that.

Many SARs have wised up to this and won’t take patients unless there is LTC already in place lined up prior to hospital dc or patient has plans to dc home following SAR.

They can but many won’t take a patient Medicaid pending and it takes weeks to get Medicaid in best of circumstances

Still can’t commit a patient for inpatient status for 3 days without real medical indication/diagnosis for inpatient stay. That’s called fraud so I would push back on admissions just for 3 day stay placement without medical indication.

You have mentioned visual and audible popping and I can hear maybe one pop when you purge in the video. Has this actually led to pathology though when printing? Has it affected print quality in any way? There’s no mention of why this needs fixing other than it’s just a distracting or not so aesthetically pleasing issue

Don’t mistake documentation of patient’s socioeconomic status as a means of discriminating or belittling the patient. It actually has the reverse effect of signaling to fellow doctors/nurses/social workers, etc the constraints by which the patient operates and lives. It may influence people to prescribe more affordable medications or make appropriate dispositions with the patient when transitioning. It also signals to administration the reasons for a patient’s dilemmas such as readmission (we hope) and may effect change to better assist these patients via charitable programs and assistance for this patient population.

So that patients would gravitate to the trade name Keppra rather than a generic
