@aghawk99 Years ago I had a scared cat cut slice through my lateral subunit into my lip. Only place open in a rural area after 9 was ED. I was so fortunate to have the only female doc employed working that night to stitch me up. She brings sewing projects in case it's slow (ha!).

@askUHC I will not give you my patient's info but my nurse manager was just on the phone with someone from UHC who did not help at all. Patient is located in Utah and needs a vascular neurologist. Needs this specialist due to the type of stroke. We have one 2 hrs away, but not in network

Hey, @UHC, HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK IT'S OKAY TO NOT HAVE AN IN-NETWORK PROVIDER WITHIN 1000 MILES OF MY PATIENT? This is ludicrous.

@AprilDaly6 My 8 year old son was iron deficient anemic and LOVED ice. We did a full study that showed microcytic anemia. Yes, he's a horrible eater. Renzo iron chewables have worked great.

@AshleyGWinter She apparently didn't get the appropriate fundal massage BECAUSE YOU NEVER FORGET THAT.

@DBelardoMD I work as an MA in a rural neurology clinic that serves 12+ counties. We have one neurologist and too many chiros. I know of at least THREE people in my tiny populated area of 30k who have had vertebral artery dissection from adjustments. It infuriates me what they get away with.

@KP_MD2018 @WestJet Huh. Seems like convulsions suggest seizures. Neurologist would be my first choice... of course, I work in a neuro clinic so I'm a bit bias.

@healingfromlc Yes, working in healthcare isolated with COVID patients in small rooms for multiple hours with insane amounts of viral loads. Did I eventually get it? Yes, but it was from a family member, not patient.

@MrsPA_C I'm honestly just thrilled when my kids (not even toddlers!) eat more than two food groups in one meal.

Hey friends who have attended @UUtah and are an RM... I have a coworker who cannot get the U to switch his residency from his mission state despite living in Utah rest of life and for the last year. Any tips? Who to contact?

@RNSuperHero As someone who works in a 36 bed rural hospital I completely understand what you're talking about. The sad thing is that we know what would help. Hire more and do better at retaining staff. Don't burn out every director and throw in someone who doesn't know policies or EMR.

Things I do for my job that's not included job description: had a patient with high altitude pulmonary edema who had driven from east coast to mile high basin surrounded by mountains. Needed to drive home on O2 and I found the route with fewest amount of elevation changes.

Nothing like chest pressure and left hand numbness with a post op patient in the last hour of a shift to get me to wake up.

@poetickate Oh, man, that's messed up. Maybe you should tell her you'll send this link to anyone she tells that lie to. The implied abuse link may get her to stop spreading rumors while you hint at your own truth. Either way, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@acweyand Also, migraines. First thing we check in our neuro clinic for H/As and migraines. Half of them come back iron deficient and/or vitamin D deficient.
