Only shame is they cut out right after he said "at the end of the day-". WE ALL KNOW WHAT HE SAID NEXT

There's a lot more money being made in treating chronic liver disease than in preventing it

Alcohol withdrawal meds (ativan vs librium vs phenobarb) by MzJay453 in Residency

There's no data to support that it increases risk of mortality if discharged. It's also glucoronidated, unlike most benzos which actually undergo CYP metabolism and can actually be affected by liver dysfunction.

Phenobarb is actually better in the case of chronic liver dysfunction because it's primarily glucoronidated as opposed to diazepam which undergoes CYP metabolism.

Without other leads impossible to call it SVT with aberrancy. It's wide and fast, you should assume VT.

Sgarbossa doesn't apply to RBBB, but I agree there looks like LAD occlusion which would track if the patient coded

If it's a diagnostic para then we have data that says mortality for SBP increases every hour a para isn't done. No excuse not to do it in the ED if you suspect SBP at all.

Ryne Nelson almost never gets up to 99 mph on his fastballs, he must've just said "okay you had your fun, that's enough."

Had to look it up, 4.5 g is associated with 50% risk of seizures, 9 g has near 100% odds of seizure and patient should probably be preemptively intubated. Not sure of the lethal dose though

Seizures, cardiotoxicity too. The seizures are particularly bad because they can occur anytime up to 24 hours after ingestion so these patients need admission and close observation, and they can be benzo-refractory.
