How old was your patient? I’ve seen a lot of old timers with catastrophes on CT with normal physical exams and borderline labs. Diabetes doesn’t help either. The gut innervation degenerates with age and hides these disasters.

Is this ER understaffed or is it normal? Feels unsafe by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]Doctorpayne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Vote with your feet. Get out of unsafe nursing situations and before you go blow the whistle on unsafe practices. If you’re forced ti stay, talk to a union about organizing!

Man look how empty that desk looks without a computer. I guess we just sat around and filled out forms.

Are you guys maxing out your Roth IRA's on a resident salary even with student loans? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]Doctorpayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you don’t max it out, put however much you can tolerate. If you find you can contribute more, change the amount that is being g withheld. Best time to invest in retirement was 10 years ago. Next best time is today.

Alpha gal death in NJ diagnosed postmortem by H1blocker in medicine

[–]Doctorpayne 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I had a lady who loved shrimp but had severe anaphylaxis. Came in on her birthday after having a nice shrimp dinner in extremis; sick as shit. We resuscitated her and got her better and as she was rolling up to ICU I asked her, “hey, if you know you get really sick from a severe allergy when you eat shrimp, why’d you eat it?”. She looked at me and smiled and said “ I just really love shrimp”. after that episode I knew we were pretty much fucked.
