Help with a physiology-clinical scenario question
First off - This was NOT my case.
I came on to relieve the call team and they were finishing up the case that I am about to describe - so the fine details are lacking.
As I understand it.....
a 19 y/o ruptured appendix some days before, IR drain not working...patient getting sicker and sicker...decision to OR for laparoscopic appy.
Patient has been tacchycardic, but good urine output and no hypotension. Induction is smooth with no hemodynamic compromise (so i am told...i'm not sure if...

“Can’t come in; I am sick”
We have a doc in our group that has “called out” for things like a gastroenteritis and pneumonia. As horrible as it is I have found it annoying at times because it puts everyone under a lot of stress to cover her. It seems to be an unspoken rule in my group that you don’t just “call out” because you’re sick. “In the hospital” type of sick is different (although one of my coworkers did work through appendicitis and then admitted himself after his shift, but I digress). I am talking about cold...

North Carolina Medical Board: Adenocarcinoma of Appendix
The Board is concerned that on December 31, 2017, a surgical pathology specimen was submitted to you, following an appendectomy with colostomy performed on Patient A. Within two weeks, you communicated a verbal preliminary report finding a likely adenocarcinoma of the appendix. Your final report was not submitted until more than six months later on July 14, 2018. The Board had your care of Patient A reviewed by an outside medical expert in pathology. This expert opined that you fell below...

ABFAS board requirements modified
2020 Case Review Prep: Changes for 2020 Case Submission
ABFAS has made two important changes to the 2020 Case Review exam. First, we have deleted the requirement of a minimum 10 RRA Elective Osseous and minimum 2 RRA Nonelective Osseous in Appendix B. Instead, you will need to log 13 cases from any procedures listed below.

Code airway. Post-op thyroid. What do you do?
I'm wondering what you would all do.
You have just taken a patient off the table in emerg. theatre following I&D of an abscess. You're walking out to consent the lap appendix in holding bay. You get a "Code airway" page to a geries ward.
You get there and find a post-op thyroid patient (5 hours post-op) tripodding in blind panic while a surgical intern is trying to get them to lie flat so they can take a blood pressure.
Sats are 92%, O2 at 15L (code team says he's been above 90% for the...

Is this technically sepsis?
Non-perforated appendicitis and no abscess, + leukocytosis, mild tachycardia (< 110), lactate 2.5. Normal BP. Pt looks extremely well. Asking cause I'm reviewing potential sepsis fallouts (thanks CMS!). I don't believe this meets criteria but was diagnosed as sepsis by admitting physician.

Should I take late-summer MCAT and still apply this cycle?
Hi everyone,
I was signed up for a mid-May MCAT, but ended up canceling when I had to get my appendix removed (great timing, I know ). An MCAT seat just opened up over here for July 30 though! Should I take it and still plan to apply this cycle?
My stats:
a little over 3.9 sGPA and cGPA
516 on the AAMC practice a week before my test day, 517 was my highest full length (NS)
Plenty of clinical volunteering and shadowing (spans 3 years)
Extracurriculars are fairly good I'd say- 2...

Do PDs have my old patient records from 5 years ago?
A bit of a paranoid question (I'll try my best to stop asking so many questions, i promise!) I've decided to do a rotation at this hospital in my hometown (Austin). Say 5 years ago I was hospitalized at this hospital for appendicitis and a complication due to a medical error happened. I never filed a lawsuit or anything because the caregivers were all very genuinely good people.
Would the ortho PD have access to my old medical records if I let him know that I was once a patient there? I...

ACGME to decide this month about new intern rules. Q: Is it torture?
UN torture report condemns sleep deprivation among US detainees
The US military has retained the power to inflict prolonged sleep deprivation on detainees, despite moves by the Obama administration to eliminate interrogation techniques that amount to torture and ill-treatment, the United Nations warned on Friday.

Under Appendix M, interrogators are told to avoid exposing detainees to several of the most popular forms of abuse...
