>>768160236
Never treated a Mexican before.
Blacks rarely have private insurance but then they don't really need it.

Get a needle and syringe and get it fixed yourself.
Are DOs fake doctors?
Is transsexuality a mental disorder?
>>768160671
We don't have them where I trained and where I work so I can't really comment.
>>768160342
Why is that?
>>768160750
No. But then I have misgivings about personality disorders as a legitimate and worthwhile diagnosis too.
Whyd they give the batsuit nipples?
>>768160671

>>768160807
The public healthcare system covers any and all care they might need. No one really needs private insurance.
What is something people constantly come in for that is an epic waste of your time?
>>768160869
To cut through glass panes.
Ever get pricked with a needle by accident. Fresh or not
Ever treat a batarang injury b4? If so how serious?
Is the rumor true that shit gets beyond normal amounts of "crazy" on nights with a full moon? Also, if I light a firecracker in my hand how many fingers would I lose on average?

How many corpses have you fucked?
What do you think about neurosurgeons?
>>768160914
- Prison inmates / Suspects in custody who claim suicidality or chest pain or some bullshit like that to try and get out of the cells.
- Personality Disorder patients who make repeated claims of suicidality for attention and then cause chaos in the department if they don't get their way
- Chronic pain patients who expect us to cure their issues in an Emergency Department setting / those trying to exagerrate their symptoms to get ahead on the waiting lists for specialist treatment
- Drunks, meth addicts, GHB users, etc.
why does my peepee get stiffer at night?
>>768160965
Nah. I'm pretty careful with that. Worst i've ever had was a drug induced psychosis patient spit in my eyes. Had him pinned by security, knocked him out, and had him charged and dragged off to the cells the next day.
how much did med school cost?
>>768160883
What country?
what is the best drug to give to someone having a psychiatric crisis? haldol or ativan?
>>768161071
They're alright. We have a pretty good neurosurg department at my hospital. They're not unreasonable in their management plans and they attend appropriately when referred to.
>>768161246
Nothing. It was free.
>>768160009

I poop too much

For my patient cohort I tend to opt for Midazolam + Droperidol if they're seriously kicking off. If they're just a little agitated and need something to chill out i'll offer lorazepam or olanzapine.
In lethal injection, does Midazolam provide sufficient sedation for inmates being killed with pancuronium bromide and potassium chloride?
>>768161684
Not my area of practice
what do you think about surgery to fix a broken tibia... i think its called IM Nailing. I just got hit by a car and had it done. my god damn leg is swollen as shit but i hear it will heal twice as fast.... the only crappy thing is they only gave me 30/300 codine t3's

If George Clooney was mentally insane he'd be George Looney

How often do you fake being a doctor on the internet?
If George Clooney was an inflated rubber sleeve he'd be George Ballooney
>>768160009
How much naloxone do I give for a lorazepam overdose?
>>768162143
It's rare for them to actually manage to do any lasting damage if proper medical care is sought early after envenomation. We get a few snake bites in a week but they usually get discharged a day or two later. Kangaroos cause the most problems to be honest between people crashing their cars trying to avoid them and people getting knocked from bicycles / motorcycles by them.
What suicide ways end up at the er most?
>>768162280
None.
If George Clooney was 12 pm he'd be George Nooney

How fucked up is socialized medicine? Do people die on the waiting list? Are there bureaucratic govt death panels? What's your opinion on the little boy in England whom the govt would not allow him to travel abroad for expiramental treatment?
>>768162440
Naloxone is for opiate / opioids
If George Clooney was an anorexic goth he'd be George Cooney

I got it done 6 days ago... they said they rarely do ANY casts nowadays. i dunno it was my first broken bone
>>768161359
ANSWER THIS SHIT
>>768162514
Australia has a mix of public and private healthcare options. I would ALWAYS take the public option for anything other than allied healthcare treatments (psychology, physiotherapy, etc). Private healthcare is a fucking abomination.
There are no "death panels" as envisaged by US right wing pundits.
Alfie Evans was treated appropriately by the treating team and the courts. The christian fundamentalists that crowbarred their way into the middle of it are scum.
>>768160009
what made you so miserable that you came to /b?
>>768162597
I rarely tell people i'm a doctor straight away and I do ok with the opposite sex. I don't think my being a doctor has ever swung things in my favour. Generally it fucks up relationships more than anything.
>>768162734
Pure boredom. Isn't that why everyone is here.

ICU Nurse for 10 years, can confirm.
