I'm published this month in Current Psychiatry

I'm currently working on some other cases I might want to publish. I currently got a patient with neurosarcoidosis who is showing psychiatric sx 2ndary to it.

The garbage eating patient I mentioned in another thread got me wondering if anyone published any work tracking how many homeless patients eat garbage. If not its something I try to look into for publication.

whopper, another option for a patient in pain with GI or liver concerns (for NSAIDs and acetominophen respectively) is a combo pill they make now. I THINK it's diclofenac/PGE2. But it might be ketorolac/PGE2. I'm also a fan of mobic--it's somewhat cox-2 selective, very cheap, and numerous studies have shown it has minimal GI irritation. And for localized pain, diclofenac cream (voltaren) may or may not be available to you, but the stuff is so effective it made me cry tears of joy.

Very cool article by the way. I can definitely see this being of use. I too thought rat poison=warfarin.

Dude, I just read this case last night and loved it. Even cooler now that I know who wrote it.

Certainly a case where medical knowledge outside of psychiatry became important, and 3 IM docs were all telling me to drop the rat poison issue, all citing it had to be secret ingestion.

Medical knowledge is important in psychiatry.

That was a very educational case! Who knew that psychiatrists have to know "real" medicine? Wow.
