Plans: hands

http://plansandlaughs.blogspot.com/p/hands.html

This is the tragic timeline of the demise hands/life. Between April and June 4th. I hold my hands in flexion and then extension for 30 seconds. No results. Then he has me do it fast, holding for 1-2 seconds each time. Immediately, the tingly/numb feeling is in my fingers on my right hand. (Pinky and thumb excluded.) He tells me that it's carpal tunnel syndrome, not MS. I feel better but I'm annoyed there's something wrong with me. Diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is made. Upon reflection that I'd had ...

I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction. My resident told me today that he was planning on giving antibiotics to a kid with a fever. I asked him where the fever was coming from - he said he didn't see anything on the exam, but the parents were pretty insistent that the kid needed antibiotics, and he was tired of arguing. "Plus," he added, "it's good for patient satisfaction scores.". But he's got a fever," she said, "every time he has a fever my pediatrician puts him on antibiotics. My child. If you think this does...

One of my favorite things is when patients rip up a prescription - it's just such an unnecessary, childish action. Usually it goes something like this:. I need purpleset tens for my back pain. My doctor is out of town.". That's Percocet, and the fact that you abbreviate the dose 10/325 as 'tens' makes me concerned that you're far too familiar with this medication. We're going to give you some Tylenol today.". I can't take Tylenol.". You know there is Tylenol in Percocet, right? Tagged as: drug seekers.

Plans: about

http://plansandlaughs.blogspot.com/p/about.html

I live in Detroit and believe it can come back. In fact, it's already on its way. I play piano. Er, played. Thoracic outlet syndrome is a condition I will live with for the rest of my life and my hands are much weaker than they used to be, so that limits my time on the piano. I believe the key to sanity is having your own washer and dryer in your apartment. And not having to pay in coins and sharing with 300 people. I am TB positive but my chest x-ray says I'm good to go!
