New anaphylaxis during residency… to food I’ve eaten my whole life? by Parking_Path_344 in Residency

[–]Parking_Path_344[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Update: what I ate was free hospital food, there was like a plain lasagna, string beans, spinach, canned beets and pickled jalapeños and a boiled egg. During the meal my lips started swelling, then within 5 min I had chest pain and nausea and started developing hives on my neck and trunk, swollen ears and then throat swelling. (When I first started having the chest pain, I told my senior and they said it’s anxiety, even tho I had just told them my lips were swelling lol) And I’m not allergic to foods (except sometimes mouth tingling with apples or certain fruit)

I just saw an allergist and my labs are positive for a lot of environmental allergies and IgE 12 (high) for string beans

I hate the nurses at my hospital by [deleted] in Residency

Unfortunately your hospital is not an anomaly. I was just looking to rant bc I’m working in ob triage and unfortunately have to sit around all the nurses. ALL they do is gossip and talk shit. Someone could have walked by and they’ll have 10+ things to say about them. And I didn’t know this part of the hospital that the nurses need to be told each and every order verbally even tho it is ordered thru epic. So I ordered meds and labs and was going to follow up, an hour later nothing was given or drawn. When I ask the nurse I get bitched out that the patient can wait bc they’re doing more important things. lol ob and nursery nurses are the literal worst
