This couldn't be more accurate. As a med student, I probably had that exact "So what are the can't miss diagnoses here?" conversation with half the senior residents. Also, I've heard that calcium gluconate explanation word for word from a resident before.
As an ER nurse my mind goes "calcium first but in a minibag on microdrip bc I am absolutely not standing there to IVP this med, hit em with the D50, 10 of IV insulin fuck I need to find another nurse for dual sign off nvm here drink this Lokelma while I find another nurse." Gets distracted finding another nurse but remembers to get the bedside commode for the inevitable shit storm after the Lokelma/Kayexalate. Finds another nurse for insulin sign off... pt "why am I taking insulin I'm not a diabetic I don't want this!" Eye roll "sir, these are the consequences of your actions when you decided to skip dialysis all week."
Sorry, but what’s wrong with explanation? Of course mechanism of “stabilization” is quite unclear, but it is recommended to prescribe calcium in case of sever hyperkalemia with ECG changes.
@@SuperBraNTA the explanation is fine, it's just funny that med students across the country have had the same explanation given to them by EM residents specifically
My experiences as a psych patient OD’ing is going unconscious in the back of the ambulance and waking up in a ward with a liaison psychiatrist standing over me. Asleep through the entire ER stage, never saw the ER physician
So glad I chose psych over EM. Worst lifestyle and burnout. Patients deserve better care than the flyby 2 minute dispo from the attending while most care has been provided by others.
What does CT stand for again? I forget. I could Google it, but the algorithm demands otherwise. I might Google it anyways, but an answer would still be cool.
@miscelanous Computerised Tomography, it used to be called a CAT scan. Its basically a lot of X-rays taken from different angles, and then computers put the images together.
The conversation with the cath lab was perfect. Initial incredulity regarding signs of progressive ischemia, then by the time the Pt. meets STEMI criteria theres already an elective/non-urgent on the table and everyones scrambling to meet the 90min angio window.
@Weather WX The cath lab (the lady thay he talked to) didn't think the initial signs of a heart attack on the EKG (the t wave inversion) were actually due to a current heart attack (there can be other causes including an old heart attack), until the very obvious, defining signs of a heart attack showed up in the EKG, but by that time there was probably an elective cath lab case on the table so people are scrambling to get the patient having a heart attack to a cath lab to remove the clot within the 90 minutes window required for better patient outcome. Hospitals also report on how they are doing following these guidelines.
@Brawnyö Yes, you'll understand everything about this situation and laugh about it too when you get towards your final semesters of medical school. The funny thing mostly is trying to meet the 90 min window when you already screwed up. Best they can do is use thrombolytics and transport because of oversight and poor planning.
It’s so incredible how personalities within specialties align SO perfectly. This is every ER Doc I’ve ever met. 😂 Is there some group on the medical board that just reads personalities then sends those folks to that group. It is WILD.
It's the opposite, some personalities or disorders types are more attracted to some areas and end up in there because one thing attracts the other, like Emergency Medicine and ADHD or Surgery and Psychopathy.
@@irresponse You are absolutely right... But then I start to think that's it's neither personalities aligning with certain specialities nor an inherent psych/mental variant sorting doctors into said specialties...

I was in the ER on the patient side once and the doc kept swinging his body left to right, watching his stethoscope swing while he told me tests he was gonna do.
