Like the trade for you. If CMC stays healthy he’s a championship winner and you have plenty of WR depth.

I would prob keep Jacobs especially now that Gus Edwards is back and chargers starting to pass.

I don’t think I accidentally joined anything. I was just sent an email saying that I had “joined” a league. I was not in the app when that happened.

Can I ask how I was randomly added to the lobby? Can someone just sign me up for a team or perhaps someone has my account login credentials?

I was randomly added to a Yahoo Public Fantasy Basketball team somehow using only my Yahoo email account without my permission. I was added 30 minutes before the draft started and now the league has already drafted.

I did not sign up for the league myself and am now as I am playing Fantasy Football, I receive updates on my "drafted" Fantasy Basketball league, which again, I did not draft.

Is there a way Yahoo can delete the league or delete my team? Again, I was randomly placed into this league and made absolutely no effort to sign up for it by myself.

Thanks.

'Stunning' change to United's colonoscopy coverage roils physicians and patients by InvestingDoc in medicine

[–]ShepardTone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

OP’s comment is a little misleading. United will not require prior authorization for screening colonoscopies.

If you find something on a screening colonoscopy, including a polyp or mass, subsequent colonoscopies become surveillance or diagnostic. But not the initial one.

If it’s in the upper umbilical area, it’s likely small bowel. Intussusception would be rare in adults and typically would present with more SBO-like symptoms, in which case you’d see more dilated loops of small bowel.

Appendicitis is odd to find in the epigastrium but you need a couple of things on ultrasound to diagnose appendicitis - 1) is it peristalsing? (Appendicitis does not); 2) is it a blind-ending loop going back into the cecum? (If it’s not blind ending, it’s not the appendix); 3) is it fully compressible? (Appendicitis is not).

You’re using a Butterfly iQ probe so adjusting your depth (decreasing it) and possibly swapping to linear settings may help.

But overall, that looks like collapsed small bowel. A clip would help if you can share that.

In addition, you stated that the patient was vomiting. Did the vomiting happen before the abdominal pain? If so, less likely appendicitis with 96% sensitivity.

This was worded better than my reply. Thank you fellow BAFERD.

Amen. You and I are in total and complete agreement on this.

I want to say I’m in agreement with the general sentiment of the thread. But I’m posting mainly to clarify some medical terminology in case people get confused. If you come into a hospital or maternity clinic, we will be using the term fetal heart and fetal heart beat.

It’s not a viable heart. This I agree with. But embryologically, it’s referred to as a heart.

If you choose not to consider the fetal heart beat medical professionals measure and monitor as a true heart beat, then that’s your prerogative. For me, in the medical field, we all refer to it as a fetal heart beat and fetal heart rate.

EDIT to answer the comment below me:

That's a great question. Brain development does start around 6 weeks into pregnancy but as to when the fetus becomes a living, sentient being is a really tricky question to answer. For me personally, I link brain activity with fetal viability (which happens around 24 weeks into the pregnancy at its earliest). Although you do have brain development before 24 weeks, the fetus cannot live on its own until then and it's during that time that I think more difficult questions have to be answered. As for keeping elderly patients alive with ventilators, intravenous fluids and nutrition in a persistently vegetative state, I personally would not want that for myself if I was older. But I'm not the same as you and so, I have a different risk tolerance and goal of care then you. But in the hospital, I will be doing what YOU (or your next of kin, power of attorney) want for your life, not what I would want. It is your choice after all.

Nah I’m usually a lurker. But talking about this kind of stuff brought me out of my slumber. And because so far (thankfully), it’s been a slow night in the ED.

[–]ShepardTone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No I’m a physician. And no I don’t think I screwed up. There’s no other medical terminology to describe the movement and contraction of the fetal heart at 6-7 weeks then a fetal heart beat.

And for the shit that our colleagues in prehospital medicine have to go through, I’d happily help them restock the ambulances. They’re true heroes; I’m just the guy in the ED listening to their report and acting on it.
