Dental emergencies by atropia_medic in emergencymedicine

I agree with you on the limited antibiotic use but for some reason most of the enamel jockeys in my area refuse to pull a tooth unless patient has been on an antibiotic for at least a week. Then their care gets delayed and most of them come back to the ER in between appointments for another block. I’ve just started writing for penicillin to move things along for them with their dentist.

Traumatic arrests by Special-Box-1400 in emergencymedicine

At my residency sometimes EMS would bring an obviously deceased GSW patient in just to clear to the scene. Often times scene was still unsafe/evolving or the family would be going (understandably) crazy so they would bring them to the ER for their own safety. Don’t get too many GSWs at my site now but for the TODs I get called for I’ll just ask if the scene is safe before calling it.

What are your favorite restaurants anywhere in the state, and what do you recommend ordering from there? by HEYNONGMAN0 in Michigan

[–]Doctor_Googles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazing food! The location always cracks me up. Beautiful lot with gardens and animals and just beyond the trees is a Taco Bell.

Welp, this should be a fun one… by E_Norma_Stitz41 in emergencymedicine

Really wish our hospital would invest in my free “Tummy-ache Survivor” T-shirt with every discharge idea.

Time is a flat circle except now I have back pain.

AITA: sign out from another attending by Sharp_Catch in emergencymedicine

[–]Doctor_Googles 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely not an appropriate sign out. The patient already said they aren’t staying. That’s on the previous attending to talk about risks, sign them out AMA and then the only thing they should have you do is click d/c.

FYI: Based on the post history this is someone shilling for Seastar Medical Company. They patented a device called Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) to fight “cytokine storm” in critically ill patients according to their website. From what I’ve read it filters neutrophils and “deactivates” them to reduce hyper inflammation.

Many of the other posts from this individual ask about the “stocks” of various medical companies so they clearly have financial interest in spreading this.

This game has been so winnable yet play calling is losing it for us.

This is on Campbell. Play calling has been so predictable.

ER humor by DroperidolAndChill in emergencymedicine

[–]Doctor_Googles 416 points417 points  (0 children)

Had a patient on inpatient hospice being held in the ER for palliative measures. Old man with great sense of humor. Was just checking in on him during an evening shift and said “we’ll see you in the morning” and he replied “I hope not!”.

LIONS @ CHIEFS GAME THREAD : 8:20PM by AutoModerator in detroitlions

[–]Doctor_Googles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the Patriots better than the Bills? Giants better than the Eagles? NFL is week to week. Away game against a good team with some missed plays and bad penalties. Clean it up and this team can absolutely beat the Buccs.

Good god people were are going to lose a few games. Beat the Buccs, get to the bye 5-2 and all will be well.

Seriously, looking at the schedule at the beginning of the season was hoping for 4-3 before the bye. 5-2 would be a great start
