thatchick: Is she diabetic?

good question!!!

but since the op mentioned that the mom's "bedridden" I suspect bed sores...

@op, do u usually turn your mom regularly,what of massage??

That sore, is it on the lower back, elbow, heel or back of the head

Samgreguc: na true o bt, na every case dem dey see doctor first?

that stomach pain could be due to peptic ulcer, intestinal colic, typhoid perforation, biliary colic, panceatitis, appendicitis, merckel's diverticulitis, hepatitis, splenic rupture, or any cause of peritonitis.........

In fact, the list is endless!!!

Thats why you have to see a doctor first.......

concerning mls and radiography....

disagreement btw us! [/quote]lomaxx didnt change it, the creator of the thread did

dominique: Nice job you're doing here Lomaxx. Though outright prescription of drugs is not advisable here, there's nothing wrong in making recommendations once you've narrowed down the possible causes like you did with jfkenny

@Dr. Lagusta I don't any of the questions were irrelevant. He needs to get a clear picture of the situation naa

Auntie I understand, but I have studied patients, and one thing I know is asking them too many questions may make them confused, bored and even irritated, some may believe the doctors don't know what they are doing, therefore trust is lost.....

lomaxx: I was just strolling around. Now you're here...





Nobody has died from answering too many questions.



I'm yet to notice an irrelevant question. You ask to rule out possible differentials right?

I'll highlight some cases I met here.

1) Hyperactive bowel sounds - each question was relevant to the diagnosis, if you noticed.

2) Anosmia of 2 year duration. Each question was relevant too.

My possible differentials are nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, and most strongly - olfactory groove hemangioma (a slowly growing tumour that presents typically as anosmia+ dull headache+ other neurologic signs later on). Most commonly diagnosed in late stages when the tumour is big and presents with space occupying signs ).
Each question was relevant.

Doctors are not trained to be magicians. Especially when the condition is 1) not a spot diagnosis and 2) when it's chronic.

I believe any patient that needs help should take patience and answer small questions. For his own good.

I never said your questions are irrelevant, if you noticed....

For example, the case of the guy with parasthesias, I had already known it was likely a thyroid disorder, so I personally won't ask for polyuria/polydypsia, I.e in the body of history, I'll leave that for the past medical history, which is not elegant in an online forum like this.....

But no issues shaa, keep it up

lomaxx what are you looking for on this thread

Nice job jare

But Plss keep your clerking questions brief, patients usually get fed up Cos of too many, sometimes irrelevant questions.....

Rubbish!!!!

So how u take type this Tori nah....

tenderlaw: I write today as a doctor for 3years now. Anyone aspiring to study medicine should follow their dreams. If I could make it with all my unworthiness, then anybody can. Just don't be scared of any course, do ur own best and God will do His own. Cheers.

Thanx fo your clear and concise advice

onoerime: this should be the best offer for now. but come to think of it, what are the cdma's networks doing?. starcomms in my area is dead. visa phone and multi links where r they.

All cdma networks, except visafone, are DEAD!!! And with the way things are going, visafone may get ready to die soon....

poundsmaker: Very much true. Are you one?

Yes.

I heard the military has preference for doctors, is this true

STORM2: Hahahaha...it won't get ugly abeg. Worry not.

It's annoying nah... someone wants to pour sand on our garri....

It's either he contributes something meaningful or he gtfo..

saheaven: ...i dnt thnk you know the meaning of para-medics...nurses are nurses n pharmacists are pharmacists...research into ur choice of words pls.

Oh God!!!

Please can you stop this pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaseeeeeee!!!!

Good lord!!!!!

Amb Fitsaint: I personally think dis thread is not about who lords it over. We(be it a para or medic) are here to share opinions, ask questions nd make logical contributions.

The ethics of dis thread have it dat paramedics nd medics are not here to compete on an unholy equality beauty contest d way Johesu nd Nma av it.

We are all cornerstones nd linchpins on dis instrutive nd educative thread be it a medic or a paramedic.

I just hope we can do away with getting eachother's hackles up to foster d progress of dis thread.

D motherlode pieces of info on dis thread have helped innumerable pple out dia.

Dis thread will surely be hitch-free if we re understanding nd thickskinned, if we embrace one another as a big family-never minding one anoda's peccadillos-.

Thanx alot for this post....

wazoboy: Lagusta culd be right! but y ddnt u just add typhoid test to ur tests, its not costly and it wuld do u nothng even if its negative!

Well, he may also do those too shaa, I.e blood culture/widal and blood film/microscopy for typhoid and malaria respectively

dodoferati: If a woman eat bitter kola before or after intercourse .....conception can never take place....because the bitter kola is powerful enough to destroy the sperm that a man ejaculate into a woman vagina....thus the woman can never be pregnant

carriecay: 3. Bitter kola is an effective manpower. If you eat it in the morning and sleep with woman at night, your performance will double.

Hmmm, for men and women....

Hmmm, you may be suffering from an endocrine disorder....

Go to a teaching hospital to see an endocrinologist, do thyroid function tests, and let's go from there

Seun: Dental procedures are different from "going under the knife". It's not as if they will sedate you and cut you open; you just open your mouth.

But he'll be sedated, given an anaesthetic, and he'll be exposed to tweezers and forceps.....

If this is true, then don't be suprised if Nokia overtakes Samsung as the king of smartphones.....

I'm surely going to get one!!!
