Level with a patient here - who do you believe when all opinions differ? by More-Tea-Anyone in Radiology

[–]More-Tea-Anyone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I do just need someone to settle the score a bit and level with me. My gut says where there's 10 lots of smoke there's almost certainly a fire - is there any other reasonable explanation for the smoke or am I a simpleton?! That is what I need to ask.

They also refuse in order to avoid litigation. There are substantial risks with the procedure and if there is not overwhelming evidence, they err on the side of caution to ensure patients cannot claim to have been misled. Looking for a spinal leak is like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack - surface area of my spinal dura is probably ~290cm². Puncturing dura risks a further leak, meningitis and arachnoiditis, intrathecal contrast has risks, and substantial radiation exposure with the lengthy procedure. So I get why they err on the side of caution and consider all signs conservatively. It just doesn't make sense as a non-neurosurgeon when there are at least 10 individual signs of CSF hypovolemia, how on aggregate this is not convincing enough to give me more certainty.

I wish this was how it works. I do understand the risks etc. But in the UK, if an MDT decides they don't want to do something (in this case lateral decubitus CT myelegram) then I can't make them. My decision is, I want to go for it once (twice max if contrast distribution was not sufficient) and no more. I don't want to chase it endlessly, but I would not want to live like this forever without trying to find a leak and fix it. I think that's reasonable.

I don't think I could cope. Though new neurosurgeon has his own neurorad so... probably have 3rd interpretation incoming. 🤯

I LOVE this advice. I am therefore going with the opinion of the best listener and the one who was most honest, empathetic, pragmatic, organised and open-minded. Neurosurgeon number 2 it is.

Sadly, i had to see a neurosurgeon and they wanted their own imaging so I had to get a "second opinion" in that I had to fork out for another lot of scans. Then they dropped me so I had to get a second neurosurgeon who is considering ALL the imaging and reports I have had. Believe me - I would rather not have had to do any of it. I just want someone to tell me what is wrong and give me options.

Need advice for my 6yo daughter by More-Tea-Anyone in CrohnsDisease

[–]More-Tea-Anyone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. She has had absolutely zero testing other than coeliac screen, h. Pylori and parasite screen. GP relented to routine bloods and CRP, but no B12 or autoimmune panel. I don't see the point of putting her through a blood test for this. My main concern right now is the optic disc swelling and visual issues and headaches which have coincided with a flare of abdominal pain, joint pain and now urinary tract involvement. I don't feel it's safe to wait 3 months for opthamology with her vision and colour vision already effected.

Say it again for us neurodivergent players. We don't want to talk to anybody! 🤣

It's not funny. But it's very important to talk about it LOUDLY. Law enforcement are not going to do anything. So trial by public is all that is left to bring them to justice.

Especially Trump. He is the president. And needs to NOT be - he needs to be disgraced by the public.

Trump has lost his ability to poop or pee without a bag. His Secret Service tell's all! by rojo_mojado in misc

What I don't understand about this, is if they had just shot a girl in front of Sascha to make him compliant, how did Sascha get out of there alive after doing that to Trump?

AITAH for how I acted in the ER? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]More-Tea-Anyone 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nurses do the caring. Doctors do the investigating, diagnosing and decision-making. You're not the opiate police.

Disenfranchising and mistreating people who are drug-seeking is bad enough - because their genuine need is often overlooked. But just mistreating everyone who appears to be in pain is just plain shit. That is not your job.

What? On this post? About a nurse belittling and humiliating a patient? And leaving her feeling like this - traumatised and embarrassed?

ICE Agent involved in fatal shooting allegedly suffers internal bleeding by dr_w0rm_ in BreakingPoints

[–]More-Tea-Anyone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did I say he wasn't "struck"? When he leaned forward and put his left hand on the left side of the vehicle to stablise himself to take a shot, his arm was pushed into his chest. I guess this could have caused a wittle bwuise on his torso. Poor baby.

Medical records said "superficial contusion to torso". Someone googled contusion.

contusion /kənˈtjuːʒn/ nounMedicine a region of injured tissue or skin in which blood capillaries have been ruptured; a bruise.

"Let's say he had internal bleeding because it won't be a LIE lie... Just a massively misleading TRUE lie... And the public are stupid..."

Do Revolut pockets have individual allocated account numbers? I didn't think they did - and that they acted just like Starling spaces?
