As the ED doc when I call our GI doctor I tell him, "I know you're not coming in to scope this patient I just need to hear you say it so I can document it for the hospitalist."
Hey, same here. A I understand a little of this stuff and watching these shorts randomly has helped. Its all really cool and with a lot of stuff the struggle is real as it goes for any profession. One of his shorts recently was giving people the benefit of the doubt.
@@mrs.lilymason both presented with some bleeding, thought different things, asked roughly the same question, got to different conclusion but same course of action
Lol my doctors when I was 16 and had the bone density of an 85 year old with sever osteoporosis... got to love osteogenesis imperfecta type 4 a and a mother who was adopted so no known family history!
Welllllll, i wouldnt wanna pay for a scope just to find out my hematochezias just a friggin hemorrhoid that resolved itself. So im fine with that. Melena, please schedule me for a scope. Ill take less nsaids. Neither are reasons for emergency scope. Its not like there were additional signs of bloodloss. Youre not going to usually have an emergent bleeding ulcer but thats why hes asking for hgb, for bleeding.
How can I stabilize the patient when he is bleeding like crazy.... How many PRBC I should give him till morning. If you come and stop bleeding, the patient will get stabilize.
All jokes aside I have GI issues and I’m only 23 and I’m pretty close to ending it all because they can’t figure out what’s wrong. Multiple specialists. Drs. Surgery after surgery. My body clearly doesn’t want to live why should I keep living in this pain. Hopefully one day GI issues are more easily resolved because I would wish GI pain on my worst enemy. Maybe just politicians.
