Patient Dies in ER and No-one Notices

This shocking vid has made the rounds over the past few weeks. At EverythingHealth I don't like to rant and rave but I do appreciate the ranting of other medical bloggers. Check out this great post by White Coat Rants about this woman dying on the floor of a hospital without anyone noticing. There are lots of pointing fingers and blame to go around, but perhaps cutting the funding to psych hospitals might play a role? His blog is worth a read.

scintillating scotoma

Image
Nothing like experiencing a medical condition first-hand to really help a doctor understand it from the patient's point of view.  After all these years, I had my first (and hopefully last) scintillating scotoma while sitting on the couch playing "words with friends" on my ipad and watching TV.  A scotoma is a partial loss of vision in a normal visual field.  Scintillate is flashing, sparkles.  Put them together and you have moving, flashing sparkles with a blind spot in your eyes.

This visual aura was first described in the 19th century  by a Dr. Hubert Airy who had migraine headaches.  The visual sparks and flashes are in a zig-zag pattern and they can precede a migraine headache or occur without any pain.   The scotoma affects both eyes and closing one or the other does not make it go away.  Sometimes the term "ocular migraine" or "retinal migraine"  are used to describe this phenomenon but these involve only one eye, not both.  The terms are often …

What Medical Specialty Are You Suited For?

Hey, I'm easing back into the blog world after a fun trip to NYC. If you are a Doctor or ever thought you'd enjoy the world of Medicine, take this quick quiz to see what specialty you are suited for.

I wish I would have had a quiz like this when I was deciding (oh so many years ago) on a specialty. Most medical students make important career decisions based on whether they had a good experience during a 4-6 week rotation. The Resident physician you serve under can make or break a rotation and, believe me, I've seen a lot of doctors that are not at all suited for the specialty they chose.

In case you are wondering, I scored highest on Orthopedic Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, OB/GYN, General Surgery and Urology. Interesting that they are all surgical specialties. Internal Medicine (my specialty) was number 25 for me. I guess it was all those questions that asked if I liked good outcomes and am decisive (yes and yes)!

See what specialty suits you.

Black Spot Poison Ivy

Image
I love learning something new in medicine and this was a new one for me...black spot poison ivy.   Poison ivy (also known as rhus dermatitis) is a common contact allergic dermatitis.  Like poison oak and poison sumac, the chemical that causes a reaction is called urushiol.  When this plant sap touches the skin a pruritic (itchy) red rash appears with little blisters that are often in a line.

Black spot poison ivy is the same urushiol but in humid, warm conditions it is oxidized by lactase from the skin and turns into a dark black lacquer color.  It is an uncommon presentation because usually the sap is diluted by perspiration and never turns black.

Poison ivy/oak is more common in the summer and I treat lots of cases in Northern California because it grows like a weed.  The worst cases are when someone tries to burn the plant and inhales the resin.  Treatment of black spot poison ivy is the same as regular poison ivy.  Washing the skin, clothes, and all contacts area immediately is cri…
