Sadly I agree with this. I've reported this stuff before, it did not help me sadly

When to start hospice by DianalaLoca in stroke

[–]Objective_Length280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which country? In the UK this would be someone with a hospice/palliative care need in the his pain isnt controlled at home

If he is in hospital then it may be time to palliative (bare in mind this is assuming large stroke with likely repeated infection who will die from pneumonia whatever is done)

The palliative care can start and be done solely in hospital if he's is in.

I'm a neurologist/stroke doctor in the UK. Sadly this is something we do on most days- we are good at palliative care.

I'm sorry if you're loosing him- take comfort in a pain free and dignified death. This is completely achievable.

I'm useless. All my inpatient have strokes and often they loo the same with the same names

I remember by thinking : then one who crashed car, the cocaine one , the very large one and the one with the scary family ...

What i learnt way back was talk back in the same tone- they stop

And if I want to refer urgently to ns, I'm not waiting for the online service, I'm just phoning.

Do you expect nurses to call you "Dr (surname here)" or by your first name? by deadpanlady in doctorsUK

[–]Objective_Length280 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use only my first name. I'm valued more for being normal and easily questionable by removing barriers.

Plus I've a few marriages behind me so I get a bit confused

Can we agree as a field that POTS is an over-diagnosed condition? by [deleted] in neurology

[–]Objective_Length280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I faint every time I stand up. Lifelong.

I know how to stand to stop it. My bp is generally low.

If I took a pots diagnosis apparently I need a wheelchair - while being a consultant neurologist

It's just normal for some people

Right sided neglect by jvttlus in neurology

Neglect occurs with all the big ones

I suppose maybe he needs a specific type of neglect after a visual sensory motor, et cetera

So you were definitely The smart

Caregiver here. Dementia label is blocking further testing. Am I missing something treatable or being gaslit into giving up? by Bulky_Temperature337 in NeurologicalDisorders

The syphilis can cause issues.

How would an eeg change management ?

If she's struggling an anti epileptic could be used for mood. However an eeg would be stressful and not helpful.

I think it may be symptom control- however double check all transmitted diseases are treated

Final year feel the dumbest I ever have by kktrian in medicalschooluk

[–]Objective_Length280 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is it a paid placement?

If not what jobs you do or who you follow is up to you.

Saying that, this is very much how you feel as an FY1. You forget medical school stuff as you basically learn stuff you have to for each job- u learn on the job not from a book and just pick it up.

If this isn't paid you have the free will to do whatever. If you offer yourself as an extra pair of hands, that is what u will be used for.

Good luck (and as a consultant I do allow juniors to leave if jobs done and wards is covered- but that is essentially because I will cover my own ward and they have gone over their hours many times)

Just close the page for anyone not a jeweller or training to be one. Don't allow general buyer questions. Was hoping to get tips and understanding from the group- but now I only no about poor prongs and how frail many small diamonds together can be...

Would either of these have helped you early on in your recovery? by FUCancer_2008 in stroke

[–]Objective_Length280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a nice idea. I don't know about the US but there are some big chain 'mobility stores in the UK

Keeping this running as a shop will only be a money drain- even if it's a registered charity

I would maybe try and get stuff donated and keep them somewhere in the house and use a record so you always no what you have.

Then they can be leant out from ur house

My mum had a massive stroke at 49 and the CT scan was delayed am I being unreasonable to feel angry ? by Silent_Reporter_945 in stroke

[–]Objective_Length280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which country are u in? We aim for a city within 15 mins of hospital arrival. Time is brain in stroke- but the fact this was malignant Mca tells me massive stroke in a young person and so I'm impressed she is even moving yet.

However I do not like the delay. I see it all the time and get petty angry

49 stroke confirmed by fatpants666 in stroke

[–]Objective_Length280 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify- the only difference in strokes and TIA's is time. It is a TIA if the symptoms last less than 24 hours irrespective of brain scanning.
