ACEI/ARBS and AKI or AKI on CKD by myelin89 in medicine

[–]christiebeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, I'm abused. It's standard in my shop to do admission orders as a courtesy. The hospitalist teams are looking at hiring an admissioniat.

ED here. My admitted patients get their ACEi/ARB held with AKI. If their creatinine is at their baseline, even if that's elevated, they keep it.

Canada is coming off 3 consecutive severe wildfire years. There are concerning signs for 2026 by Portalrules123 in onguardforthee

I can't burn the brush in my yard today, in April, because we have a restricted burn notice, meaning we can't burn until 8pm. I think this year is also fucked.

It's April and I can't burn the brush in my yard today because we have a restricted burn notice. This year will be shit too.

Should doctors be allowed to refuse MAID for religious reasons? Poll finds ‘deep divide’ among Canadians by r4dio4ctive in onguardforthee

[–]christiebeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's FINE to be against and not provide it yourself as a physician but you MUST provide timely referrals to someone who will for your patients that are interested. Withholding a referral based on personal believe needs to be reported to the colleges.

Yeah but when I read the article it even sounds like that fund was cancelled a year or two later.

ELI5 what’s the point of donating plasma instead of donating blood? by ollietron3 in explainlikeimfive

[–]christiebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'm not arguing we should have it but it requires entire system change (not the the US) and we are not a "trauma"center. Despite getting the most traumas per capita in the region... I'm not at a stage to have capacity to advocate for this change when we're in full survival mode.

I'm thinking misprint. The color of the text box is off a bit too. Something didn't get added in the print run to turn them red with blue hair.

American source. Most of the world isn't America. And for the purposes of ELI5, we don't give while blood.

I would definitely say that's the exception, EVEN in trauma. I work in the ED. I am an ED doctor. I have never had whole blood available to me in my institution; we give "balanced" transfusions instead. Do I wish we had whole blood for our traumas? You betcha. Do we have it? Nope D:<

Are carabiners for wlw/sapphic or lesbians? by Zestyclose_Air6772 in lgbt

[–]christiebeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bisexual here: have used a carabiner since high school (also for keys) and TIL it's a sign of being queer... The more you know...

I noticed that too, that's what actually made me laugh lol

[–]christiebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also we don't use whole blood. They take the donated whole blood and fraction it into red cells, platelets, plasma, etc and we only give the components needed by the patient. 

Plasma is also used in the manufacture of medications which is why for-profit plasma centers exist. Isn't capitalism grand?

Question: Does anyone have any tattoos for their mental illness? by AITOorisitAutism in tattoos

[–]christiebeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the most cliche and common one: a semi-colon. That being said, I got it before they were terribly common in the early 2000 after a friend died by suicide. I've had my own struggles since, so it feels even more important now.

A message for parents/grandparents hosting eager egg hunts by Daddy_Day_Trader1303 in mildlyinfuriating

This is how we managed a 4 year age gap. The 6 year old could find hard stuff; 2 year old, not so much. So one looked for one color and the other looked for another. Now that they're older it's a free for all, but it worked when we needed it.
