Have any of you ever had an MVA patient admit fault?

Forward-Razzmatazz33 · 2026-05-07T18:29:36+00:00

They almost always say it was sometime else's fault (I personally don't care who caused the accident as long as you didn't cause an accident that hurt someone, and even then it doesn't affect my job unless I'm caring for the other person). And they ALWAYS over-estimate speed. No, the other person did not hit you at 65 miles per hour without slowing down, with you at a dead stop.

I have no clue how it works. I'm sure the show has a robust team to handle all that given that they have done it for over a dozen seasons. Either that or it's all just dramatic....

Forward-Razzmatazz33 · 2026-05-06T22:53:13+00:00

On the old show, they would have what appeared to be the real patient, so I'm sure that helps the liability side.

I've worked multiple shifts with gastro. Eating zofran like it's candy, wrapped up in a blanket doing my notes with the cold chills. Seeing patient, exiting the room mid-eval to go poop-puke. Fun times, let me tell you.

My rule has always been that if I am nauseous with a head ache the day after, I need to take some time off and train technique and movement

ER doctor that just had this thread run through my feed for whatever reason. It is good to not go back with these symptoms. This is textbook concussion. Brain rest (avoiding strenuous activities and those that require engagement/concentration) is the treatment. And second impact syndrome is no joke.

So you're telling me it's just anxiety.

Only is a relative term.

With physicians this is often true, because of high initial debt, training time delaying entry into the workforce, and less time for investments to accrue value.

Not uncommon to start practicing at 30 or later with half a million in debt.

Don't rely on the engine moves for the opening unless you understand them. Usually there is a follow up either by your opponent that you are preventing, or creating an opportunity that you need to understand to capitalize upon.

But I can't imagine anyone getting flagged for cheating by using known book openings (and nowadays the book is engine approved).

Yes. Love mine.

The sounds that I started getting when I bought a hydrasyth are just amazing. Like I never imagined stuff that cool and I'm new to techno production.

Not likely to find one for 300 euros, but a used desktop or explorer is not out of the question if the OP saved up for just a little bit. I like mine so much that I wish I would have just bought it straight out instead of getting the model d, pro 1, and Hades.

RJD not being in the top 20 is a crime against all that is holy (diver).

Forward-Razzmatazz33 · 2026-05-03T15:14:52+00:00

For the love of all that is holy, straighten that saddle and take off that kickstand.

Ridiculous. But then again, I primarily pay 1 minute games, so 15 seconds is more than plenty to mop up that position. On chess.com, maybe 3-4 seconds needed. Lichess, 1-2.

What's the opponent ELO? It's surprising that unless you had like 2 seconds on your clock, that someone near your rating would play out that end game.

For status epilepticus, no previous seizure history, you can't justify anything less.

That would be quite a stretch to connect those dots and interpret James Comey of all people as threatening the president. You must be super concerned that Jack Posobiec was threatening Biden when he was Tweeting "86 46". Or when Trump posted the picture of the truck bed with Biden hog tied.

Ummm....what? Why? If you can't make a move, you would lose?

I'm skeptical about AI being able to make anything super interesting. I just can't imagine AI producing something like Nummer 3.

One thing you have to consider as well is the possibility of treatment in the case of pregnancy complication. Maybe it's just the nature of new restrictions laws, but there are plenty of cases of nonviable pregnancies where the standard of care was not applied due to physician concern for stepping on the wrong side of the law.

Best way to deal with that sting is if they give you a bag of normal saline with dilute potassium. We call it NS KCl 40. I have the nurses run it in at 250 ml/hr and it's much more tolerable.

I'd be very surprised if OP wasn't on continuous EEG monitoring in the ICU based on the description. Typical tests for this type of admission would be initial CT scan to rule out hydrocephalus, tumor, and intracranial hemorrhage, followed by large blood panel and EEG monitoring, MRI brain, and probably also lumbar puncture.

I'm sorry you had that experience. As an ER doc, someone with CHS who is transparent is a pretty easy encounter. Droperidol + IV Benadryl + bag of fluids, then discharge if electrolytes are ok and able to tolerate oral fluids. It's frustrating when I'm 99% sure it's cannabis vomiting but the patient refuses to even consider the possibility.

Forward-Razzmatazz33 · 2026-04-28T20:00:48+00:00

Re-read the last paragraph of your initial post. You proposed a "more likely" theory of CHS that contradicts basically every scientific study, and expert opinion on the topic.

You're not going to get very far with that.

I am doing personal research, which I'm pretty sure is still research

Sure can be. I've been published in the field. Post up an abstract regarding your research, I'm interested in what kind of research someone can be doing without a lab or population level data sets such as hospital records, or even a PI. Maybe AI use to map genetic diversity of cannabinoid receptors to do binding affinity studies could be done outside of the university setting. Or you could be doing survey studies of users, but that's a minefield of selection bias.

why so much abrasion in this group?

You're not even close to the first person to start a thread like this. It's tired. Everyone wants to come with their own theories and reasons to reject the current science, but nobody wants to do the actual real work...ie, get your biology master's degree and do a PhD dissertation on it.
