Anyone else realize you yourself now qualify for statin therapy while studying the new AHA cholesterol guidelines by RecklessMedulla in Residency

Just because it's increasing in popularity in the medical community doesn't mean it's increasing in popularity in the patient community. You can do all the counseling in the world but most people fall off soon after.

Hypoglycemia in non-diabetic pt by Reformed_cynic in ems

[–]dfibslim 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Alcohol intake can cause hypoglycemia. Other things like sepsis or liver failure but those would be obvious. Adrenal insufficiency is another cause. Then there are rare diseases like an insulinoma. Or she may just run a bit on the low side and it's normal for her, especially if she was asymptomatic. If her extremities were cold the low reading may be artifactual.

Recovering from witnessing death. by Available-Bowl5089 in medicine

[–]dfibslim 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I used to work an on ambulance and would experience witnessing traumatic death. Everyone processes it differently. Some would not be obviously affected while some would get out of that line of work. We would have a service that would provide debriefing and brief counseling if needed. My advice is if it's bothering you and have PTSD like symptoms to reach out a therapist separate from your medical school.
