Thank you!

@Dirty medicine What sources would you recommend for the physiology.

[@nazihobeid5497]

Awesome video ! One question tho , why is the overactive bladder highlighted in orange ? Does it have any correlation to parotitis?

[@ReidEvers]

I believe that is why they are on Oxybutynin (anticholingeric so it also leads to decreased salivation, and one of Dirty's risk factors for parotitis).

[@Silver-ik9ho]

@@ReidEversthanks!

[@apocalypse8537]

Great question. Keep it up, Dirty!

[@HT.100]

I hate how vague these questions are

50/50 between Hospital infection and Parotitis 😢

[@DirtyMedicine]

The amylase likely wouldn’t be high in a hospital acquired infection. That combined with all of the risk factors makes parotitis the better answer choice.

[@strongDr]

Thanks Doc, for your invaluable service.

Parotitis Amylase

[@shiralad]

whats with the grammar in this question? I thought there were two patients

[@Silver-ik9ho]

‘They’ is a gender neutral pronoun. It can refer to any gender

[@ksharma103]

Although this is hypothetical, Dirty may have framed the stem as such to reflect the patients’ preferred pronouns. It’s highly important to be cognizant of that in the real clinical setting.
