[@sofietcheverry9421]

I'm not from the United States but I think it's the same everywhere, it depends on the severity and not on who got there first. For example, when I was 10 years old I went to the emergency room At 12 am because I had been all day vomiting and an intense pain in my stomach and in the last hours my fever was high. A doctor from my health insurance came to my house and suggested that it might be appendicitis, so he recommended going to the emergency room as soon as possible. When we arrived it was full of People since it was flu season, mean, there were thousands of sick children (in my country emergency rooms are divided into pediatric and adult) We checked in and sat down to wait, but after half an hour we explained the situation again and they made us go to a to a room before others who were perhaps before us. And luckily because i had a 40 degree fever, severely dehydrated and a gangrenous appendicitis.

In real life Australian tick paralysis is really only of concern in veterinary medicine - it can be deadly for cats and dogs but it hardly ever affects humans.

[@marycanary]

But I’m guessing that it does happen sometimes?

[@SharonToggle]

@@marycanary It's possible but it's really rare. The tick needs to be attached for several days to inject enough toxin to affect a person, and most people will notice and remove it well before that. It usually causes irritation and numbness at the site of the tick bite, so generally people will know pretty quickly that something is going on if they have a tick attached.

[@tigerfang6063]

Very very rare, but just like Lou Gehrig's disease, it can almost be so unique you get it named after you

For as tough as these problems are, this is a condition that the doctors know how to handle. Diagnosticians have come such a long way in medicine. Sometimes we take for granted that it's all just deductive reasoning. When a problem is atypical, the fear grows.

I have a rare autoimmune disorder. First in area with the diagnosis. For months I was told I was just dying and that I'd never walk again. 7 years later I'm alive and mobile (though I wouldn't be running any marathons in the near future). It took one doctor to actually dive a little deeper and actually listen to me. It changed my life. I had to make a decision that this was something I could either live with or die from and I chose to live with it. But initially when everyone tells you that you're going to die its hard not to take it to heart.

you know there really are times no doctors are available & nurses even nurse practitioner. can't do or know everything my mother was a nurse & father a doctor & neither of them knew everything even when they finally retired. Both spent 40 some years in medicine & were people who the hospital staff management & even the courts would turn too & both would always admit at times being puzzled & having to talk to someone about something they didn't know. Hospitals even big expensive ones don't have thousands of doctors or nurse on staff every minute of everyday & even those on call there's a point where there's no one left. There's lots of things we now that people dont study or worry about because medicine & our bodies have adapted but yet at times they can come back or be made improved by someone evil & thus something we thought no longer a big deal suddenly returns or suddenly becomes a big deal again.

Her blood was normal, so they might have checked it already.

[@Nobody-iv2ot]

I think the fact that they just came back from Australia should've explained everything.

[@AddyBloms]

This is my favorite episode of Med

[@janedoe805]

Seriously, there’s 9 doctors in the room with Will and they have no idea what’s wrong with him or if he’s contagious... They’re all doctors and none of them are worried about getting whatever he and the young girl has? Yeah right! In the real world all of them would have been gowned-up with masks and gloves! (At least l would have been!) At that point they didn’t know what was wrong with the girl... Or that she fully recovered! 😳🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

[@kouci683]

I mean it's just a show 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TheChillyCucumber]

Bruh…they WERE all gowned up and were wearing gloves!! Masks are not necessary because clearly there has been no evidence of possible droplet or airborne spread. Therefore, they’re following contact precautions. At the end, when the lady doctor was removing the tick from the dude doctor, he said something like; “you shouldn’t be here,” as she wasn’t wearing a gown or whatever. I forgot exactly what he said and obviously there’s context missing, but yeah. Point is: all of the doctors followed contact precautions as was appropriate for the case :)

[@sowmyasusheela]

I dnt accept the scenario bcos noone was sure about how did it spread... Via airborn Or droplets or.. So always better to wear mask.. And one more those who says it's jus a show.. When this show was based on medical issues, it should accordingly..

[@gamerguy9961]

"Plane ride home from Australia" well there is a million possibilities now.

[@jilla-dr9hu]

She’s like. “Your gonna put that down her throat”? Yes, if you want her to be able to breathe, they have too. 🙄

[@sergeantchick2820]

I’ve never had a tick but my mother would always warn me of them and explained how to remove one if bitten. Same with leeches.

[@nbrown088]

Thank you Bondi Vet for informing me on tick paralysis lol

[@jesswarner3254]

I’ve lived in the Appalachian area most of my life, ticks were bad when I was a kid, but they’re worse than they’ve ever been. 3 of 4 of our rescue dogs had to be treated for Lyme when we first got them, I can’t even remember how many ticks I’ve found on myself and the animals.

[@annabees]

that's not how you remove a tick... you need to be light and gentle not to break the head :|

[@crafty2214]

a tick it all that to a little girl and to one of the doctors hard to believe something that small could cause that much trouble. I wonder if something like that could kill a person.

[@a.g.demada5263]

Well, yes, it can

When this kind of symptoms needs immediate attention.. Still d person in d front office standing still.. While v in our country rush to treat as soon as possible..!

[@theflashgirl2057]

What would ve happened if that actually was a contagious paralysis that medicine as we know it didnt encounter ever yet

[@beeeeeeeeeeg]

as soon as she said “plane ride home from australia” i knew it was a paralysis tick 💀

[@beeeeeeeeeeg]

paralysis ticks only usually affect animals and they can be deadly if left to get their toxin enough

When you're in Australia, which doesn't exist, don't picnic. Have barbeques. They're much safer.

Australia does exist. I'm living in Queensland Australia

As soon as they said Australia it was a given that it was tick paralysis.

[@mataschmata]

the mother: "while on the plane ride home from Australia-" me, who watches bondi vet: 👁

[@lynxlynx4149]

Of course australia

[@sweetsmoreo4922]

“Try a minosuppressent-“ *fucking dies* I know I probably spelt that wrong or not even close but shhhh🤫

[@DKofDAH]

Nothing is more unrealistic, than a doctor ordering almost full body ct/MRT and a bunch of other tests all at once. Not only do these cost a lot, but take a lot of time and usually these machines are always occupied.

[@HelenL2-b1i]

Truly amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My brother got a tick on his private parts twice… I don’t even know how
