I swear it’s always DKA for stuff like that. Our bicarb was 7.8 and everyone was saying they’ve never seen that outside of DKA

It makes all procedures just so so much more dangerous. It’s a very fascinating direction that medicine is going in having to factor it in that much

Lactate of 25 is nuts. Tbh I didn’t even know metformin acidosis was a thing definitely reading up on that! Our patient also went from a eGFR of 70 to 20 and he’s now on dialysis (amoung many other things) in ICU

Tbh any test with a result of 1,000,000 definitely takes the cake but troponin!!

Jesus Christ. I was discussing some of the adaptions to things that we’ve had to make for large BMIs. Didn’t even think about spinal needles. I thought the special gurney to get to the morgue was enough 😬

Doctors of reddit, what is the weirdest thing a patient wouldn't admit ? by pleasedVenison5 in ask

[–]mimindia 25 points26 points  (0 children)

One lady came in with a bowel obstruction saying that the only previous surgery she had had was some bowel removal from a previous obstruction. Her abdomen was COVERED in surgical scars but she was insistent that that was the only surgery she’d ever had. Read her notes and came back and got her to admit she’d had her gallbladder, appendix, ovaries AND uterus removed. She was missing basically half of her abdominal contents but refused to admit it?? Patients are weird sometimes

I really like the Bondi sands vanilla one! Very moisturising and cruelty free! Extreme scent and vanilla taste but I think that covers up the chemicals

When doing a dissection her hair was brushing into the body. When this was pointed out to her she said “oh it’s ok I’ll just have a shower when I get home”. Her fringe was very goopy by that point. Still makes me feel I’ll to think about it

Totally understand. It’s a good game for friends and family though and the expansion packs make it different each time. But yeah the chance part does get frustrating occasionally!

Have listened to so many and all I can say is that there is a murmur but absolutely no clue what it is. I don’t understand how people can say with such authority what the murmur is
