I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten a couple board questions wrong because I leave stuff like conversion disorder/functional neurological disorder so far down my differential that it’s basically in the trash anyways. I see it as a diagnosis of extreme exclusion.
The immune mediation would explain why AIDS medications might work though, particularly if it’s one of the viral synthesis inhibitors.
I suppose my next question would be as to whether or not ME appears to be a centrally-mediated disease like fibromyalgia is. There are a lot of very strange ways problems with the central nervous system can present, and it seems like ME has a broad enough swath of signs and symptoms that it is either a multi-system disease, or of a centrally-mediated etiology.
Correct. I’m a third year medical student on my clinical rotations right now, and I worked in the medical field for 4 years before starting med school.
Empiric treatment is not the broadest spectrum possible. Yes, they will put someone on Augmentin for a human bite, but that’s very different from putting someone on IV vancomycin or meropenem. The augmentin will probably cover anything in that bite, but if the culture comes back showing resistance, then you switch to something else.
I’ve been in clinical rotations and my attending physicians have been very clear about antibiotic use and there is a lot of clinical evidence and guidance for minimizing broad spectrum use.
We like to use the narrowest spectrum antibiotics possible to limit side effects and breeding resistance. Also, the really broad spectrum ones are expensive.
Not even a sip for me. I was offered small amounts of champagne or wine at special occasions, but I never drank any because I could smell the alcohol on it and didn’t want to.
I’ve just always been some variant of the “mom friend” and after I turned 21, I was still the DD most of the time.
My husband and I have a house in St Paul and we go to Hudson for lunch/dinner dates sometimes. It’s quite close. And Minnesota and Wisconsin have agreements set up for living in one state and working in the other.
Nope. The first time I drank any alcohol ever was on my 21st birthday. My Dad made me a gin and tonic with Bombay Sapphire, and that set the standard for the kind of alcohol I will drink. It’s a good thing I’m a lightweight because I only drink the expensive stuff. (The cheap crap burns too much.)
I’ve tried to drink coffee a couple times. I never was successful at it. My body just hates something in coffee and it just comes right back up before even hitting my stomach. So, I guess it’s gone down my esophagus, but never further than that.
I end up going to the ER way more than I want to. It’s really annoying; if you walk into an urgent care or a regular doctor’s office (besides my regular care providers, they’re used to me now) and say you think you have a kidney infection or other kidney problems and you just need antibiotics, they just go “NOPE” and yeet you out the door to go to the ER. So far, I have been successful in preventing them from calling an ambulance for me.
Never have I ever drank alcohol illegally or underage.
One of the problems these monsters have been having with carrying out executions is that they can’t get pharma companies to sell them the drugs they use and they can’t find actual healthcare professionals to perform the act. That’s why there’s been a few cases recently of having to cancel or postpone an execution because they couldn’t get the damn IV line in.
…I ran into a new problem…how do you deal with it when your preceptor says some pretty offensive stuff? I know I’m in the rural Midwest, but it has been a hot minute since I heard someone genuinely refer to Asian people as “the Orientals”.
I’m not familiar with this disease, so I was looking around for more info. The Mayo Clinic’s summary/explanation has some useful basic information, but I’d definitely like to learn more about the pathophysiology and treatment as I might be going into primary care.
Based on the description, it does seem rather similar in etiology, presentation, and progression to fibromyalgia, so I’m definitely going to ask my Osteopathic Medicine professors about it when I get the chance because we have discussed some OMM treatment modalities for fibromyalgia and I wonder if they might be applicable here.
Wisconsin doesn’t have a bar exam if that makes any difference to you. And there’s cities in Wisconsin like Hudson that are on the border/river across from Minnesota.
Which is why, in many cases, there should be liability assigned. If a self-driving car kills someone, the programming of the car is at least partially to blame, and the company that made it should be liable for the wrongful death suit, and probably for criminal charges as well. Citizens United already determined that corporations are people…now we just need to put a corporation in prison for their crimes.
“Assault” is shouting and threatening, “battery” is actually making contact. It sounds like she got the pepper spray out in time to prevent him from touching her, whichbis a very good thing.
