My CD, my remote.....

My two year old has taken to carrying broken Cd's along with him- all the time. Sometimes it falls from the case and we have to rush to get it back- otherwise its the end of the line for the kid and an end to our ear drums. Some weird fixation, when will it end and what is it supposed to mean?

Hospital Rounds

Taking a page from DB's med rants this is a list of conditions I saw during rounds and need to think about carefully-
1.Hyponatremia
2.Pericardial effusion
3.Aspiration Pneumonia
4.Pleural effusion
5.MRSA cellulitis and abscess formation
6.Hypercalcemia
7.Renal cell carcinoma
8. Acute myeloid leukemia chemotherapy complication
9. Renal failure with multiple myeloma
10. Palliative care- patient with metastatic cancer, unknown primary who did not want any investigation.
What a rich source of learning.
