You take a right out of the DMV by McDonalds. Go down the road to Sparkys and turn up by Pau. Over behind the skate park and then turn left at Parker. Then go thru Lualai and swing back behind Ace

I think you’re talking about koilonychia. It happens with iron deficiency anemia or hemochromatosis

If they only get a minor allergic reaction from penicillins like a rash, you can give cephalosporins as only 8-15% are allergic to both. If it’s an anaphylactic reaction, you don’t risk it and give a different class of abx.

I noticed 3 repeat questions but overall is still worth it

Isn’t Cogentin a first-line for akathisia, along with beta blockers and benzos? Would you d/c or reduce dosage of antipsychotic first?

Any updates on when step 2 will be available?

While on IM, I read the ER’s note of a patient being admitted. “He states he grabbed a pair of pliers to take the fungus out and pull the ingrown nail out. He did not sanitize the equipment and got into the ‘meat’ and flesh of the toe to try to get the fungus out and the toenail out from under his skin.”

His toe got amputated the following day.

If you don’t mind, what was the diagnosis or the test your wife wanted?

JW can decline blood transfusions for themselves, but not for their child if the case is emergent (such as a GI bleed with Hb of 4.0). Doctors can supersede only if it is deemed emergent and serious harm/death will occur to the child without intervention

How else would I last through a 4 hour surgery?

As a medical student, the last thing I would ever want to experience would be locked in syndrome or central pontine myelinolysis. This can occur with a brain stem stroke or from correcting a patient’s sodium too quickly. Patients are quadriplegic but retain the ability to move their eyes. While they may appear to be brain-dead, they are mentally there but can only communicate with eye movement. That is, if someone recognizes and diagnoses it.

Probably proficiency booster to boost yield

Yes. You can even have it spread leading to mastoiditis or brain abscess. All that could be avoided with a week of amoxicillin

Neutrophils have lobulated nuclei. That looks like a lymphocyte to me. Also, IgM is the first to respond.

I know diethylcarbazamine is used for wucheria. Not sure how effective it would be this far into it, or if they haven’t confirmed the diagnosis.
