Is PM & R Boring?
I'm in the 1st week of my M4 PM&R rotation. I really wanted to like this rotation, and was strongly considering going into PM&R. But so far, it feels pretty boring. Mostly stroke patients. We manage bowel regimens, mostly for constipation. They have neuropathic pain - we start gabapentin. They have HTN - we add on another antihypertensive. The most exciting thing to happen so far was a patient getting an AKI 2/2 TMP-SMX renal toxicity. Overall it's felt like IM-light. The outpatient clinic...

IBS in med school
Hi Everyone,
I'm an incoming M1 with IBS-D and was wondering if there are any others with this issue in med school. I've become progressively sicker over the past year, with significant weight loss (BMI of 16) and pain, chronic weakness, fatigue, and dizziness, as well as recurring fevers, in addition to my diarrhea and constipation. I often find it difficult to get through each day, and can no longer do certain things. For example, I can no longer drive due to my chronic dizziness. Given...

Billing question for practicing providers
Hi there, I just had a quick question for practicing providers. I was told by my billing department that I cannot solely bill for mental health, for example depression, anxiety, ADD without a “medical diagnosis.“ I’ve never heard that throughout residency, having build 99213 and 99214s solely based on these diagnoses in the past and never heard any problems. I am told that I need to add “medical diagnosis “like blood pressure elevation, constipation, etc. in order for them to qualify. The...

Please help! Possibe CF? Sweat test needed after rectal prolapse in 2 1/2 year old
Hello,
This is my very first time posting here. I never thought I would find myself posing questions in regard to CF and my children, as I thought any fear of CF would have been completely put to rest by my prenatal testing and newborn screening. Apparently, as I am learning, this is not always the case.
I just got back a little while ago from an over night stay at a children's hospital following my daughter's first experience with rectal prolapse.
After speaking with the gastroenterologist at the end of her 24 hour observation period, I learned that it is protocol to send children her age with rectal prolapse for a s...
