JPP is back and posting? UTSW? Noy is out of the shadows? What is this forum coming to?
Since OB is the flavor of the month, here's my contribution.
23 yo G1, 40+2 wks, in active labor. Started complaining of headaches this morning, now with some viusal complaints as well. BP 165/92, HR 115. CBC from 6 hours ago: Hct 38, Plt 102.
A few weeks she back had a cough and fever and went to her PCP, who got a CXR which looked something like this (not the pt's actual CXR, but pretty close):
Neither OBs nor nurses appear to know about or care about this finding. The patient isn't the most educated mom-to-be ever and herself has little insight into this finding, or what workup happened afterward, though she says she was sent for some additional testing at some Outside Hospital.
Frequent lates, some pretty long, on the strip. Variability is good. OBs are getting nervous and are sporting their "I wanna cut right now" look.
Now what?
