I am feeling a bit tired but an easy day helped.
96F - Transfer from Rehab to a nursing home.
44F - Painful left wrist after being pushed to the ground in an assault.
46F - ? Anxiety attack, interestingly she had an AMI (heart attack for the non medicals) eight days ago, had a stent put in and is now back at reduced hours at work.
Is the diagnostic bump itching?
Ours were, unfortunately I have nothing to report on her tests.
49F - Fall on the road returning to work, heaps of left hip pain, unable to straighten, it looked different to the right but need an X-ray.
36F - Post Ictal - regular pattern is a single seizure, her partner of many years collected her from work and took her home because we were happy with her progress.
23M - Borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, Alcohol abuse, savage self harm mutilations to arms and with police in a park pissed. Sorry hospital we had nothing else to do with him.
Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.

Taz, you mentioned you had a patient with a mental health history. Have you developed any strategies to best communicate with these apatients during an acute episode. We have just begun to learn about patients with a mental health issue that present for other medical problems, and how to best relate to them, so I would be intreested to hear your thoughts.
