If she doesn't want to be a research assistant for you, I'll volunteer. LOLroja said:soCute- you should have come and been my research assistant... wouldn't work you into the ground... just close to it. 😉

I didn't CT the finger. I was waiting for a CT on the febrile 8 yo M with RLQ pn and N/V. The finger got a PET scan.DropkickMurphy said:A CT on a broken finger from 2 weeks ago? Damn....are you getting a cut from every CT you order?![]()
My guy said he wasn't ******ed but it's had to be sure when you hear the story. 20ish yo M who work some kind of light construction. Trips and falls on out stretched hand on the jobsite. No idea how this resulted in a boxer's fx but what do I know 😉 . Turns out pt had already clocked out and was not supposed to be on the jobsite at all. Company says whatever just fill out the work comp stuff, bleed in the tube and pee in the cup and we'll cover you. Pt says nah. So company says you can kiss your work comp good bye. Goes to his chiropractor for treatment of his sore hand. Chiro takes various rounds of Xrays and does various adjustments. Third or fourth visit declares "You have a fracture." Go see Dr. Ortho. Pt goes to Dr. Ortho. Dr. Ortho's desk says that'll be $1600 cash up front (snide comment about dysfunctional Las Vegas medical system given 😡 ). Pt says nah. Dr. Ortho's desk says "Well, if you got no cash then (drum roll please) go to the ER!" So that's how I got to see a 2 week old hand fracture at 1 am.BKN said:Re broken finger 10 days ago. So I'm seeing a 25 yo non-******ed guy with a hand problem last night. Injured it at horseplay 10 days ago. Base of thumb pretty swollen, can't move it in any direction. Xray shows a shortened displaced Bennet's.
BKN: So where were you 10 days ago?
Pt: Well it was really swollen then and my mother told me that you guys wouldn't take an xray while it was swollen.
BKN: *?*
I guess that settles the old debate whether intelligence (or lack thereof) is genetic.docB said:My guy said he wasn't ******ed but it's had to be sure when you hear the story. 20ish yo M who work some kind of light construction.

Bonus stupidity. After I put Mr. Nah in a splint mom (of course the 20ish construction worker with a hand boo boo 2 weeks old in the ER at 1 am was accompanied by his mom) mom asks "Now he plays drums in a punk band. Can he keep playing or will that make things worse?" I asked again "Are you sure you're both not ******ed?"
