Pseudomonas and Balancing Work & Treatment
Good morning. My 8 month old daughter had a cough for 5+ weeks and the CF clinic asked us to bring her in for a check. She dx as CRMS due to her mutations (DF508 and F1052V) and is tracked by our local CF clinic. F1052V is very rare and causes CF in some, and not in others.
Her lungs sounded clear so the doctor told us to start CPT 2x/day to see if that helped. Her theory was that this wouldn't hurt her and COULD possibly help her. They did a chest xray which showed bronchitis of some sort but no pneumonia and the doc said her lungs sounded perfectly clear.
Well...two days later I get a phone call from the nurse. M...

When to call?
Good morning. My daughter has been diagnosed with CRMS. She has df508 and a mutation with varying consequences f1052v. Apparently f1052v causes CF in some, but not all it's patients. So my daughter (8 months old) is tracked at a CF accredited center and has been doing well with no symptoms to date. She got a scary high fever last month and our pediatrician instructed us to take her to Children's Urgent Care. This center is affiliated with her CF doctor's and communicated with them to ensure she was being tested for everything she should be. The doctor said she had a diminished lung (meaning it didn't sound as health...

Working as a Medical Transporter
I've been working at my local hospital as a transporter since last august. Basically, my job is to transport patients (by wheel chair or bed) to their test (MRI, Xray, CT) and back to their room. I also transfer patients from ER to a room on the floor. I am soon training to be a technician on a floor.
My question:
Does this count as a good experience? For some reason medical schools might not really look at it as that big of a deal because I am getting paid to do this and its not a volunteer position. I get a ton of patient interaction/interaction with nurses on a daily basis though.
What are your thoughts on this?

Need help interpreting MRI
Conclusion: There are disc protrusion at L4-L5 and L5-S1. At L5-S1 the disc touches the traversing S1 nerve roots bilatterly. Please correlate for S1 radiculopathy.
Flexion/Extension Xray Findings:
There is mild wedging of the T10-T11 vertebral bodies with accentuation of the throacic kyphosis at that level. There is disc space narrowing at L5-S1.
What does this all mean and how is it treated? Is there hope that I could have less pain?
Also when I looked up the wedging of my thoracic discs all I could find was info about compression/wedge fractures. Is my disc fractured or was it at some point? How is that treated?
I a...

Dental therapist clueless about scope of practice (news article attached)
Saw this on dental town (link and regulations) and felt it is extremely important that the public can understand a dental therapist's mentality and quite possible, one's arrogance.
"To know that you do not know is the best.
To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease."
Lao-Tzu
Maybe the disease the therapists are trying to fill, is within themselves.
DT: At no surprise, the new dental therapy graduating class is unaware of their practice boundaries. Under the Minnesota Statute Section 150A.10., dental therapists, which Allred is, are not allowe...
