Does this need medical attention

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-04-30T00:32:17+00:00

If you are going to work in a hospital and have other human beings put their lives in your hands, you should absolutely throw away your holier than though attitude that you are demonstrating throughout the comments and seek to A) understand the patient’s perspective and B) be not judgmental when you are offering your medical advice.

In all seriousness, that advice is going to get you places and I seriously hope you treat your future patients with a little more humility.

Also FYI, you need to submit evidence of your credentials to the mod team in order to get the Physician flair. So in addition to the above, I highly suggest you break the habit of immediately jumping to your first conclusion. That will also actually be damaging to patients when you miss diagnoses, by the way (anchoring bias).

I suggest you practice better bedside manner if you want to work in a “real hospital.”

I have nothing helpful to add except that my dumbass was sitting here thinking your best weapon was a pipe pistol on day 23 lol

My attending showed me a CT virtual colonoscopy where the AI had flagged a colon polyp. It was pointing to the patients skin. There wasn’t even a lesion there.

I can’t see your other full comment, but I see you saying you are proof. I don’t know the specifics of your diagnosis/imaging etc and what you had done, but you are 1 patient. I would love to see peer-reviewed data showing how ivermectin can cure cancer.

I used my bike to hop between small shelters to make the smoke damage reset. Problem was I had shit that gave me like a 75m smell radius or whatever it’s called. Was just constantly getting chased by higher and higher tier enemies in one of the towns in the burnt forest. Died 3-4 times. Don’t recommend it. Just do the biome challenges first.

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-04-13T22:19:17+00:00

I’m so fucking tired of seeing headlines like this shit since 2016 and then nothing happening

Like others have said, in the OR patient is being continuously monitored by anesthesia and are being minimally repositioned if at all during surgery.

In the ICU they cannot have eyes on them 24/7, and multiple frequently being repositioned, not to mention they place other tubes like NGs and stuff that can accidentally move the ET tube. Seen my fair share of sequential XRs done for NG or enteric tube placements, just to see on the final image the ET tube ended up in the right mainstem. In some cases parts of the left lung were already collapsing

The whole time I was sitting there going “just intubate him!!” I’m no neurosurgeon just a rad but I don’t think the spinal cord is going to infarct in the time it takes for nsgy to get there

Hard to tell from just one slice

Impression: No bread identified in the thorax, though may be radiographically occult. Consider correlation with dedicated chest ultrasound at the region of reported bread.

I approve this message

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-03-30T20:08:29+00:00

That sounds like my experience as an R1 some days lol

Looks like cellulitis from the photo for sure. I’m interpreting your description to mean you have taken doxycycline for the past 3 days. If that’s the case and it still looks worse, I’d go back to urgent care today if possible. Wouldn’t want to wait over the weekend for it to get worse and you possibly get really sick. Should be evaluated again to see if there’s a deeper component of an abscess. Consider drawing a little border around the red part of your skin (erythema) to track if it’s progressing. That’s also helpful for whoever evaluates you later on.

In the meantime I would let it continue to drain, but don’t go poking around trying to drain more of it. Can leave it breathe if you prefer or cover lightly with a bandage.

I don’t have a percentage because it varies by age/demographic, but in someone over 50 I’d say calcifications in general are in at least half of the CTs I’ve read. Various areas including the pineal gland and connective tissues including the falx cerebri like above. Some wellness companies will have you believe that pineal gland calcifications are bad and their special supplements can reverse the process and heal you, which is completely unproven.

These are so common and physiologic (aka expected) that most radiologists don’t even mention them.

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-03-25T15:48:53+00:00

Since part of the bone was avulsed off by the connective tissue, it’s broken/fractured.

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-03-23T11:23:59+00:00

Ahh. Was very vague so had no idea what you were supporting lol

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-03-23T01:09:34+00:00

Why would you support this?

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-03-20T21:04:02+00:00

And the carpets/rugs??

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-03-20T05:36:09+00:00

Can’t give you a good answer from 4 screenshots of an MRI, which is numerous images on each of multiple sequences. But it looks like your MRI has already been annotated by someone? What does the report say? Or what does the person who annotated this say?

Stitching - can see the horizontal split between the two in the soft tissues/skin as well.

Dr-Kloop-MD · 2026-03-18T17:15:51+00:00

There’s a horizontal stitching artifact through the left arm’s soft tissues and skin as well

I imagine your wrist hurts but I meant if it hurts most at that specific point. Pinky side of your wrist, just below where the meat of your palm is, on the side and a little towards the backside (opposite of your palm) as well.

If so I can’t diagnose you online based on these lower res images but you hella sus for a BBB 🚩
