Depo, the new cure for torticollis
Today, a patient's sister gave her the depo shot in her neck instead of bringing it back as directed.
Another Day at the Office
As our scene opens, Dr. B and his resident have established that a 14 year old patient has Epididymitis.
Dr. B: Your son has whats called epididymitis. It's an irritation in the epididymis, a small structure on the bottom of the testicle at the base of the scrotum.
Mom: Oh. OK. Is that bad?
Dr. B: No. It's usually caused by an infection. We'll give him an antibiotic and he should feel better in a few days. What we worry about with testicular pain is a torsion, which is when...
Patient: [INTERRUPTING] Mom! That's what Craig had and they chopped one of his nuts off!
Mom: Holy shit! How do we know it's not that.
Dr. B: There are multiple indicators on the exam that reassure us that it's not a torsion. This is just inflammation in the base of the testicle. [Draws a diagram of the scrotum and gives an anatomy lesson. Then explains why epididymitis is most likely.]
Mom: How do you know that?
Dr. B: Because I went to medical school... And residency... And read a bunch of books...
Mom: Have you ever seen that before?
Dr. B: Yeah. It's not common, but we do see it from time to time.
Mom: Can you get it from jerking off too much?
Patient: [Shouting] HOLY SHIT, MOM! What the fuck is even happening right now!
Mom: It's a fair question. Relax.
Dr. B: Not typically.
Mom: Can that make it worse?
Patient: Jesus Christ, mom!
Dr. B: No.
Mom: Can it make it better?
Patient: Stop talking. Please. He said I needed an antibiotic.
Dr. B: Masturbation has no effect on the outcome here.
Reminds me of the 21 yr old we had whose mother realized it was likely a result of his visits to the shady part pf town and told him," See if you keep going to those dirty girls your stuff will rot and fall off."
Doctor I’m going to need you to chill…
I’m sorry but this is hilarious
On a bad SBO, one of our attending’s notes started with “really sick dude who hasn’t farted yet…”
This could easily describe some patients…
“Not dead but probably should be and we don’t know why”
ah yes, spoken like a true blue heme/onc –
“chronic severe low levels of all necessary types of blood cells”
“terminal condition”
“hard to believe he’s still alive”
“end of life discussion is… hmmm… well… appropriate” (?!?!)
GODDAMMIT SOMEBODY GET A HOSPICE CONSULT IN THERE.
Haha. Was talking to a friend yesterday who's preceptor writes "waiting for celestial transport."
Abusing Gabapentin to Get High?
Motherfuckers need to learn how to get high. That’s just stupid.
That only works if you use the brand-name version: Morontin.
The clinic I work at does substance abuse. Gabapentin is huge and I have had patients snort and inject huge amounts. To the point that one now has cellulitis on their hand.
I'm not superstitious. Just stitious.
REBLOG THE CHRISTMAS OTTER IN 10 SECONDS FOR BOUNTIFUL GIFTS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS
I would have reblogged this without the hope of bountiful gifts and a merry christmas
reblogging because it’s an otter and otters are awesome
Reblogging because this otter may be another bagel.
Gotta NOT catch ‘em all: why Vaxcards is an immunisation game changer
Dr Dan Epstein, Vaxcards co-creator
As a child, when I got vaccinated, my doctor gave me a stale jellybean from a giant glass jar. The kind of 10-year old jellybean that crumbled and cracked when you chewed it.
I got a painful jab because my Dad said so. I wasn’t sick but somehow it stopped me getting sick. Plus I got a jellybean. So I rolled with it.
Then I grew up, became a doctor, and started interacting with parents and children following the vaccination schedule. But the reward for vaccination had not changed since I was small, and education for children and parents remained in the form of handouts and print offs.
Most people agree that vaccines should be cool, but that’s not going to happen without better education and incentives. That’s why I started Vaxcards with my friend Adam Zemski.
Vaxcards is a game, where infectious diseases are illustrated as characters based on their symptoms and distributed within a collectable trading-style battle card game.
After an immunisation, you get the collectable card as a reward. As your immunity gets stronger, so does your collectable card set.
We believe Vaxcards could be a game-changing tool for delivering education and rewards for vaccination. Here’s why:
They pitch education at children, teachers and gamers
Information disguised in a Pokémon-like character with special attack and defence moves provides a platform for children and adults to learn through play.
Disease symptoms, as defined by the World Health Organization, have been carefully worked into each character’s design and statistics as well as the game’s mechanics. These include epidemiological data on disease incidence, mortality, route(s) of transmission and microbiological classification.
Information on symptoms helps children recognise the illness, data on epidemiology gives perspective on more damaging diseases while highlighting the main route(s) of transmission shows how the spread of an infectious disease can be reduced.
They provide an incentive to vaccinate
Every generation grew up with the need to collect something. Baseball cards, Pokémon cards, Panini football cards, Barbies or Octonauts.
For every child, being vaccinated could be viewed as collecting a set of antibodies against preventable diseases. Pairing a card game to this experience provides an incentive for children to collect the whole set. With Vaxcards, each inoculation is is represented by a special character card possessing special powers and attack moves.
Comparing collections in the playground creates a demand for stronger or a more complete set of cards. In real-life, we hope that this creates a generation of children, who will understand the gain from the pain whenever they look at a vaccination needle
Vaxcards personalise diseases
Giving each disease a name, a face, special moves, strengths and weaknesses creates awareness of diseases that we rarely see thanks to vaccination.
This is important for understanding the potential seriousness of preventable diseases, recognising the symptoms and reminding us why we should push for eradication.
The potential to go viral….or bacterial ….
The artwork is amazing, and the characters are engaging. According to serious gamers, it is great fun to play and has robust game mechanics.
For these reasons, Vaxcards should appeal to science-minded game lovers, children, parents, teachers, health care workers or anybody who has been immunised.
Vaxcards has all the elements of a trend that could take off. If it achieves anything like the popularity of other children’s card games such as Pokémon or Digimon, the global health impact of Vaxcards could be immense.
The generational quest for herd immunity
Creating a generation of educated vaccine-getters is the most important consideration, and one of the greatest challenges of programs. Vaxcards has the potential to provide a generation more likely to vaccinate their children and take an extra step towards herd immunity.
The game that is a game-changer
In the context of increasing herd immunity, Vaxcards should be seen as an incredibly informative and engaging tool, imparting vital information about disease symptoms, warning signs of infection and epidemiological data.
More importantly, it helps children participate in the vaccination schedule. This can be very difficult to achieve, given the lack of health literacy in areas with poor immunisation coverage rates.
In the future, we hope to distribute Vaxcards alongside vaccination programs in developing areas.
In order to achieve this, we must secure funding, investment and grants to translate the game and establish a sustainable costing model that provides subsidised or free cards in need of education and rewards for vaccination the most.
After all, educating a generation of vaccine recipients could prevent a range of diseases, saving many lives and dollars in the process.

I love this!!!!
Help MEDDAILY Expand
I started this blog 2 years ago with the blog as a way to help me remember and learn medical procedures and different areas of interest in the medical field. Since them I have gained over 11,000 fantastic followers, whom I love to talk with and pass on things that I read and learn.
I love to write brief articles for a background on different medical procedures, medications, pathologies, and anything in the field of medicine. It has become part of my weekly ritually to write at least one or two pieces, when the week allow me. But, today I am writing my followers for another reason.
For the past year, I have pondered a project I wanted produce as a FOAMED piece. For those of you that don’t know what FOAMED is, look at the bottom of this article for further information. I know when I started in the medical field as a Army combat medic, I knew that I loved what I was doing and wanted to keep doing it, but had no direction where to go with it. There was some information I could get from people I knew in the field, but nothing that was definitive to help me decide what field I wanted to be in. It sucks trying to learn about the different fields available without shadowing a few different people and sometimes that is hard to accomplish. What I want to do is create a series of miniature documentaries (5 to 15 minutes) outlining the vast amount of fields and specialties that you can go in for the medical field.
High school kids who have always thought of joining the medical field, but aren’t sure what it means or is like to be a doctor or a nurse or even a physical therapist. If you’re a college student, finishing up a few classes, but you’re not sure if you want go to medical school or if physician assistant school would be a better option for you. Maybe you’re a nurse, already in the field but wondered what it would be like to be a ICU nurse or a ER nurse and how they differ.
I want to let people see what I struggled to learn over the past 5 years as I transverses the medical field. This is my ways of not only helping people find the field that would fit them best to their interests, but to help each hospital or organization to get people that want to be their and understand what it means to be there.
I will be creating videos, a secondary blog/website, facebook page, twitter account, and so on to allow more followers join in the experience.
In the early stages of writing out paperwork and figuring out how much it will cost to begin this project, I want to ask you, my amazing followers to show your support. If you would be interested in my project, please reblog or like my page. My goal is to see 10,000 likes and shares to this post by December 20th!
If you have suggestions as well, feel free to share. On December 21st, I will decide how to progress forward with me dream.
Thank you all again for your continuing support and I look forward to giving you more content!

What a beautiful idea.
I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.
BURN BAGEL BURN
OH WHY NOT?
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
Bagel what are your powers
I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD
The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!
It’s literally just a bagel, but I will reblog the Jesus Bagel
Lord knows I need some good news
Why not.
Seriously, if it gives me a job...
Haha… GG are these from you?
Oh yeeaaahhh. The cheap CVS ones have worked so far. You know if I need to, I can sleep anywhere.
