chaser Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 No no no- you got it all wrong....it was Mr. Green in the study with the candlestick.
DwayneEMTP Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Hey now. Maybe he looks good. He might...you know becksdad, you could answer this question with one quick snapshot! You know, I'd throw in a few bucks to see that happen! (Damn the consequences, I'll get therapy later) Dwayne
ERDoc Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 Teddy.....women.....aquatic emergencies.......immunity......... HAHAHA!LOL!!!......ERDoc better get back on here and finish this off before the whole thread implodes!! Attention all passengers, the captain has abandoned ship. This is no way to stop the sinking of this one. To try to answer all questions in one reply: No snake bites. House built 3 years ago, electric stove. It never seems to wake her up, but is present when she wakes up. It goes away after she has been headache up for a few hours. The only nightmares she has is the ones of becksdad (man I feel bad for beck, if only he knew what his dad was doing) in her leather. No palpitations, memory seems intact. VS are pretty much the same as they were. So to recap this is a middle-aged woamn with h/o htn dx one year ago who seemed to be well controlled on atenolol who is c/o a right sided headache when she wakes up every morning for the past week. No other headache history. Pain is nonradiating and is usually relieved after she has been up for a few hours. She has some nauseousness, but no vomiting or visual distrubances. The is no neuro deficit on exam and the exam is otherwise unremarkable. You arrive at the ER and the doc says he's too busy for someone that sounds like something so benign. He tells you to write the orders and he'll cosign them. What do you want to order?
MrSpykes Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Ummm. I am not wonderful with the inhospital stuff but i will give it ago with my small knowledge base. Lets start with labs hows about some blood cultures, CBC, and ABG. And CT the head and chest. Thats all I can think of.
DwayneEMTP Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I'm sure I'm going to look like a complete bonehead... But relief upon rising. Perhaps being vertical is what brings relief, might that point to a heart issue? Dwayne
becksdad Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 That is priceless!!...and its blue, just like the teddy
MedicRN Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 CBC, BMP, Mg, Phos, ICa, HA1C, UA, CT (maybe an MRI).
chaser Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 cbc/ua/chem panel/CT BTW- did anyone check her ears?
AnthonyM83 Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 CT...or whatever other tools are used to check for head tumors... Does she work at the hospital? Maybe she needed a ride
