Couples Therapy: Cardiology and Nephrology

They just can’t help themselves

[@michelledalenaa]

So, I had a patient once. I was watching real time while orders kept being deleted and new orders kept being placed. I was about ready to put some calls out because I was so confused as to what was going on. Finally, I turned around and saw the cardiologist. He told me to stop deleting his orders. I told him it wasn't me. Well, lo and behold, the nephrologist was sitting at another computer around the corner and they'd been going back and forth deleting each other's orders. They allegedly then went off to discuss a treatment plan together.

I cannot help but laugh at all of this , for it reminds me of something that happened many years ago. Something happened and I was rushed in for emergency medical care. No cap ...I was literally dying. Specialists from all departments were brought in to consult. Even dentistry got an "invite" to the party. Was in shock and vitals were dangerously low with a bp at around 53/16 (yes, it was THAT low). Surprisingly , I was quite coherent and conscious enough to understand everything going around me. Not a surprise, Cardiology wanted to take charge. I am not exactly sure what they wanted to do , but Nephrology found out and immediately stopped them. Cardiology was not pleased at all and wanted to know what their problem was. Said that even if something happened, there was at least a "back up". They said that doing what was necessary to save my life, was absolute paramount. Nephrology asked Cardiology if they even bothered to read my ENTIRE medical history and file...for he would have seen that I had a history of bilateral hydronephrosis of the kidneys. Cardiology was a bit stunned when they heard that...and slowly backed away. Nephrology was beaming with a "I told you so" look. Fortunately for me, they were able to work together and with all the other specialists to provide me with the care , I most desperately needed. Took some time, but I made a full physical recovery from all of that. Thankful and grateful to all that took care of me, at that time.

[@islamalobeidi313]

As a non-doctor/med-student, I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your videos. I found you because of your commencement address at Yale, and since then I think I've actually learned a bit about medicine by watching your videos and then researching so that I get the jokes I missed (though obviously a lot of it still goes over my head). I particularly like this video, though, since I was able to bring it up to my cardiologist and ask her what cardiology's beef is with nephrology. Almost instantaneously, we were talking more like people and less like clinician/patient. Just bringing your name up to my cardiologist and my GP seemed to give me some bona fides. Anyway, thank you for the videos. They've helped me laugh through quite a bit of stress, as well as learn more about the medical field and a system with which we all eventually deal. At least when I'm arguing with my insurance company, I can think of what Jimothy would think of the whole thing.

Nephrology's facial expression at the beginning cracks me up each time I see this video.

[@teacherreadtous4273]

Your videos make me laugh out loud every time! I’m not in the medical community, I just love your videos.

[@brendaburrup6293]

It's true. I don't care about any heart sound, whatsoever. I love the psychologist sooo much!

[@sekarnaradhita4498]

FINALLY, liked immediately even still waiting for ads rollin. Hope this could make my day 🤗

[@ZainZain-ve3xf]

May be in one of the therapies, the psychiatrist stops acting so sorted and we have a face off between neurology and psychiatry..a kind of turf war, with neurology, with its superiority complex retorting "The new england journal of who gives a shit"..It will be interesting to learn how psychiatry, with training in cbt, relaxation techniques(jpmr), Rogerian Empathy handles that.

This is what I needed on my night shift

"This is a pattern of immature behavior between the two of you." Funny, I thought it was a pattern of cardiac electrical activity.

[@thereisapricetoeverything4377]

Omg I love this I'm a total medical dork and when someone asks a question and I start telling them why but in detail, they look at me like "wtf" cause nooooooboddy cares 🤣🤣

[@1963kb]

In rituals, you put salt on something to purify or to keep away the negative energy. No doubt nephrology, put salt on EKG

[@Kris-cu1vx]

This. Is. What. I'm. HERE. FOR!

[@mrfxhnd9680]

"nobody cares about heart sounds" - truer words have never been spoken. I just look at the ECHO and can tell what, where and if a murmur is present

[@Edwardterisno]

oh shoot!!! i have been waiting for these two. Classic cardio vs nephro

[@mrtoadslove]

As a nurse my big problem with Cardiology is calling them to tell them their patient’s blood pressure or heart rate is falling to dangerous levels. They’re like ‘BP of 60/40? That’s good, heart’s not working too hard’ . I’m like ‘it’s just that there’s other organs that need perfusion’, lol. They really don’t care. They see everyone as just one giant heart and nothing else and there’s no such thing as a BP that’s too low.

[@lizmullaney305]

Yes Dr. The heart isn’t working too hard. The heart is very sleepy and is about to take the big nap.

[@claudieC.]

Love these so much. LCSW enjoying these too.

[@waterunderthebridge7950]

So like if you look real close at the ECG cardio drew, you can see a drastically shortened QT time which might point towards a relatively shortened diastole indicating an elevated heart rate. I dunno but there might be way more than meets the eye going on between cardio and nephro underneath the surface if you catch my drift…

[@krism793]

Love it!

[@sistakia33]

Oh my goodness! THANK YOU so much! I've been waiting for this one! I knew it would be epic!

[@Uufda651]

[@krism793]

Gotta love “no need for surgery on that (intensely painful )pelvic girdle fracture in your patient (that’s going to stay in the hospital forever and be a difficult discharge and demand all kinds of narcotics). We will sign off and give you no further help! Thanks for this (not) interesting consult, good luck! Me, um thanks?
