Just a day at the offfice.

62F - Her first trip from home to dialysis, this is her fourth or fifth session the others were done from the hospital ward.

45F - Out for a run, uneven footpath, didn't tread well, probable ham string injury.

40F - Vomiting and diahorrea at work. Had taken a powdered zinc supplement not prescribed for her, guessed how much to take and was now paying the price. I didn't know much about zinc but my partner did. There are many different types for different treatments, overdose is easy if not prescribed and these symptoms ususally are the result. Pt being a bitch is not a usual symptom, it must have been an underlying condition.

72F - Deceased.

49F - At a conference felt ??? unwell stepped outside for some air. Was noticed by security to be behaving odd and we get called. We ended up as the third vehicle put on it, not lights and sirens. Nearly an hour later we arrive. Pt GCS = 15, sitting up, has had some O2 therapy, Sinus rythym c/o tingling or numbness in left arm, 'floaters' across the field of vision in the left eye and.......... about a six second pause and the pt asked what we had been talking about. During our time with the pt we noted similar events or episodes of aphasia/dysphasia so my money was on recurrent very localised TIA's.

91M - Fecal impaction. What can you do?
Well if he had been an Accountant you could have given him a pencil and he would have worked it out! Boom boom.

59M - SOB, Chest infection, a good one.


See you at the big One.
