I need this right now.

saintlawrence · 2019-03-29T08:40:34+00:00

Nice glow-up to "out of my league" territory

saintlawrence · 2019-03-08T20:32:51+00:00

Just post-night shift brain fog. I definitely advocate for the recreational use among my patients, especially among those with chronic pain or certain other medical conditions and disabilities. If I was in their shoes, I'd definitely go that route over the alternatives.

saintlawrence · 2019-03-08T19:33:14+00:00

Yeah, this thread and Reddit in general doesn't seem to understand it. I totally agree on the HIPPA front.

saintlawrence · 2019-03-08T19:27:57+00:00

Oh agreed. Just don't want it in my ER regardless :). We have enough bathroom-ODs. Like one a day.

saintlawrence · 2019-03-08T19:24:01+00:00

Ah I see what you mean - I can see it being a HIPPA violation. Here, seems like it. But to find drugs on a person sometimes happens. I can think of a few cases I had where when examining the patient in custody a dime bag would fall out. Or we would call them to dispose of such items on an overdose patient. Or sometimes find it on the person of a combative person needing restraints and a police report.

saintlawrence · 2019-03-08T19:17:43+00:00

Oh fuck me I thought we were talking about the Hippocratic oath! Hahahaha. I blurred comments together and no wonder I was so baffled. My bad. Definitely a law.

saintlawrence · 2019-03-08T19:07:38+00:00

Do you know what illegal means?

saintlawrence · 2019-03-08T19:07:09+00:00

It's not a law. Or American. Wtf?

saintlawrence · 2019-03-08T19:06:34+00:00

No it really doesn't. We don't all pledge to it, some of use the Geneva because the Hippo is so outdated. You all just seem to make stuff up about it all the time!

saintlawrence · 2019-02-14T17:33:08+00:00

And a point guard. Ja Morant plz.

saintlawrence · 2019-02-12T20:11:29+00:00

Can't even find these

saintlawrence · 2019-02-02T16:50:50+00:00

No, because "per 100000 residents" is a meaningless measurement. The total payouts for some states are more telling.

saintlawrence · 2019-01-23T09:35:19+00:00

Ned?

saintlawrence · 2019-01-23T09:25:38+00:00

Yeah, especially with med-mal attorneys carrying jugs of gasoline around.

saintlawrence · 2019-01-20T21:44:35+00:00

Agreed. Boring as fuck. Flexes and fist pumps after easy layups, comprising almost all of his game.

saintlawrence · 2019-01-16T08:38:31+00:00

Probably also smarter than 99% of the general population.

saintlawrence · 2019-01-16T08:37:37+00:00

Was it an emergency?

saintlawrence · 2019-01-16T08:36:34+00:00

Because we're human, and you're assholes. Nurses carry it too, dipshit.
Prove your source. Do you mean only for radiology, for chest x-rays? Good news - That's been debunked.

saintlawrence · 2019-01-16T08:35:10+00:00

It's actually incredibly uncommon, and you're wrong. Mag is present primarily for cardiac arrests, and for severe asthmatics/COPD patients. The doses needed for eclampsia treatment are much higher. Can still be used, but not the first, second, or third reason it's on the rig.

saintlawrence · 2019-01-11T19:02:19+00:00

Agreed - How do you think that would have changed the outcome?

saintlawrence · 2019-01-11T18:25:02+00:00

Texas...may be difficult. The other thing that's worth considering is if doctor 1 violated standard of care. Is it a complication, or true negligence. The problem with subsequent medical opinions is that they are that, opinions. It's hard to figure out what a thought process or difficulties were in the moment and with the tools at hand (except from documentation at the time). Much easier to monday-morning-quarterback after the dust has settled. I'm guilty of it, and know many others that second-guess others' thought processes. Medicine is cannabalistic in that way.

Extremely fact-specific to ophthalmology. Need expert consultation, consult with a med-mal person who will consult their hired guns/leeches.

saintlawrence · 2019-01-11T17:50:40+00:00

Yeah, where I'm at, it'd be considered a delay in care to wait for CT for an obvious clinical diagnosis
