When i first moved to the US I had a back pain when I went to the emergency they ordered a CT scan looking for kidney stones I was surprised because in my home country we would started with clinical examination .. a echographie of the kidney ..

Doctors should really put up their thoughts on some common platform where these myths and dogmas are contested based on their own personal experience.

You were taught this about slow bladder decompression…those of us who trained in surgery were not…EM does have a lot of myths

[@EMedNation]

The concept of draining the bladder for urinary retention w/o consequence has been in the Study Guide for decades; the issue is failure to read the book. I have not met a physician who knew the book like ministers know the Bible…

[@Peaceandloveeon]

Which book?

[@MM-tn3br]

The koran. Allah ballah punjabi haballa may bless you if you read the book and donate your entire income to the local temple for palestineans and pakistanis abduhl hassan mohammed hak tu forever amen

Another year they refuse to cover Wendigo bite. Bet if there was a pill to suppress the transformation (*that was still on patent) we'd be talking about it.

Thiamine toxicity? Never heard or read of a case…whether the vitamins are in an iv bag or po is the same treatment; there are times when a patient is NPO…I don’t make decision on what staff see…like the color of the fluid…I do what is best for the patient…I have gotten food myself for many malnourished patients when others let them go hungry…there is a problem with low compassion in every ED I have worked in…I.e., dozens of them all over the US…it is shameful…
