As others have mentioned, aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication -- the same type of class of naproxen/aleve (the difference with aspirin is it is an anti-platelet aggregrator, taking longer for blood to clot). Chronic use of these medications MAY lead to stomach ulcers and...

You are definitely correct. We have many patients who take their medications (of all kinds) irregularly. Blows my fucking mind.

I think if all of our patients had continuous glucose monitors, most of our patients who come in with diabetic ketoacidosis would not actually be coming in. Are they expensive?

Randomly spiking to 120 at rest is not good. You could eventually go into a condition called paroxsymal supraventricular tachycardia - that or an uncontrolled AFib. If a patient tells me their heart does that at rest, you bet your sweet ass there's likely going to be a holter/ziopatch monitor...

Watching this with my hubby who was confused at the beginning with GoT and this is no different. The different timelines makes it confusing for him to figure out. After episode 2, I had to surmise what was going on, the importance of Frennefer and the girl in the woods. I'm loving it. Hopefully...

Oh sweet jesus BHA. What a great episode.

It's not a *great* sign that your resting heart rate is almost tachycardic (>100). It could indicate sleep deprivation, dehydration, or other electrolyte imbalances. On the flip side, it could also indicate your heart may be going into a dysrhythmia. Keep an eye on it. Your doctor may put you on...

Re:Zero director's cut is pretty sweet. Don't remember the "flashbacks" from Subaru's deaths. It really shows you that he dies hundeds and hundreds of times more than what it shown.

Yes and no. If you drink 4 hard drinks every day and you stop, you will go through withdrawal. Things like beer or 4 glasses of wine (that's kind of a lot every day) not so much. The truest answer though: if you're asking, YES IT IS TOO MUCH.

Last episode of Vinland Saga for this season. Jesus. The FEELS. What a great series.

New documentary "Don't Fuck With Cats" is truly a fucked up show.

New episode of Overly Cautious Overpowered Hero is out. Gives the rundown of what happened in Seiya's previous life. Incredible episode.

Dunno what that is. Google search showed Lululemon which I don't wear. :D

Me in New York.

Huh. Did they check your thyroid?

OH SHIT! Shingeki no Kyojin

Last I checked, surgical correction for an aortic aneurysm is not until >5cm or otherwise symptomatic. However, depending on the location of it, I would be all for it. My hubby has a 4.2cm aneurysm in his arch of valsava which is a Stanford type A. Terrifying. In regards to your question: Blood...

Just like with sildenafil, you have to have your MD request, "Take one or two pills every 4-6 hours as needed for pain not to exceed x amount/day," if you do this, you will get your full quantity.

Damn that is rough. Isn't Tomb of Horrors a long and difficult campaign?

Not sure if serious. That was RE2, lol. Looking forward to this remake. Really excited for possibility of a RE4 remake.

Curious what tests they ran and what tests they are going to run today. If she had a syncopal episode, she may have a treadmill or dobutamine stress test. Though, I still think it sounds more like a seizure than anything.

Uh, that sounds more like a seizure than hypoglycemia. You sure she wasn’t postictal? I’ve never heard of “reactive hypoglycemia” - I have heard of hyperinsulinemia where the pancreas can create too much insulin. I’ve also hypothesized (who knows) that chewing gum can cause initial hyperglycemia...

Ketamine and MDMA are great for depression. Low dose ketamine - like 0.05-0.1mg/kg and go into an awesome euphoria.

Haha. I don't wish long fasting for anyone. Always feel bad for our patients who have to wait the following morning for a colonoscopy.

The nothing by mouth by midnight is generally for those with early procedures or those who aren't going to be compliant WITH NO FOOD. But, I think you can have clear broth up to 4 hours before and water 2 hours before.

Did they not tell you that you could drink water up to about 2 hours beforehand?

Fantastic season. Ended too soon - goes to show how great it was. I'm totally expecting Cannot wait for the next season.

Saw this. It's incredibly long and could be shortened a bit, I think. Pretty disturbing how far a family will go, lol.

What are people playing this game on? PC or console? Trying to decide which to get. =(

I'm anxious to get my Tainted Grail box. I got the Sun Drop. Hoping to get it before Thanksgiving. ;o

Calm down, buttercup. Your daughter is likely a lesbian, anyways.

Super interesting new take on the isekai... https://cautious-hero.fandom.com/wiki/Seiya_Ryuuguuin

I'm thoroughly enjoying Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered But Overly Cautious. Finally a new take on the OP isekai story. edit: Another one - this one from Netflix. "Beastars" @Furry, have you seen this? :p Actually pretty good story.

Difficult to say unless I have a more clearer picture of your health. What does your primary care say about it? Any referrals to nephrology or hepatology? Blood pressure cuffs are great as long as they are upper arm cuffs (which are hard to put on oneself). Radial and leg cuffs can greatly...

Learn something new every day! 600mg of aspirin is quite a bit...but, I can understand the desire to prevent cancer in that area. If you (do) decide to go that route, keep an eye on your stools to make sure there's no blood in it (dark red, black, or bright red) as we often get patients for...

Low dose aspirin are one of those medications that the benefits far outweigh the risks. Continue taking it. I would say it reduces the chances of strokes and heart attacks as it's an anti platelet aggregator - preventing clumping of platelets. I have never heard it decrease risks of colorectal...

Long term use of NSAIDs are not good for your gut. I would try to avoid high doses of Aleve.

The major risk of statins are increased risk of dementia. But...so is long term benzo use. =)

Nurse assistants are perfectly fine for those situations. But, I would always recommend a security camera on at all times; especially if the assistant is caring for someone.

Had a patient earlier coming in with pseudo withdrawal seizures - found out he actually has global tremors with no known etiology that I saw. Came in requesting - by name - ativan and morphine. Dude AMA'd when we refused to give him any. Lost his place at his shelter, too. Drugs make people do...
