108 Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

Holidays are crap. You want to know why? Because they inflate you with unrealistic expectations of what a day should be. I expected to be in a turkey induced stupor, not moving more than necessary to complete my Jabba the Hutt impression. Instead, I'm eating not as heartily, walking just as infrequently and doubling my dosage because I was without vicodin for longer than necessary the day before Thanksgiving. That is what sucks. That is what makes this month crap. Screw your train. You were either alive or dead. When you're dead what do you have to worry about from there? You get back up anyways.

I'm thankful for my vicodin today. Tomorrow it better be the same. While I'm at it, I'm thankful for a newly developed case of some kind. That means my life hasn't completely descended into meaninglessness. When I'm more into celebrating, there'll be pie.

Filtered to Dr. Chase, Dr. Cameron, and Dr. Wilson Because He Feels Like It;
The midget as inconveniently disappeared again when we have an ample opportunity to utilize her particular talents. Great. Just when I was in the cheating to win mood.

What are we working with then? I trust that Plan A has been put into effect. I'm going to spare a guess that it's in the process of failing. Did we ever get a Plan B behind the second door? If not we'll have to play pin the tail on the treatment. Oh boy.

Good to know who not to expect any Christmas cheer from next month.

audio; i....nearly expected to be rick rolled

Even bah humbug is festive because it is seasonal.

audio; i... can arrange that?

[thenormalsquint]

It's also depressing and cranky.

audio; DX fffff

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

The season? Yes, yes it is.

[neverplay]

What kind of pie?

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

As of this moment pumpkin, but this is subject to change.

[neverplay]

I like pumpkin pie.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

With and without creme.

[synanthrope]

You're in pain.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Excellent deduction.

Now tell me something I didn't know.

[synanthrope]

I can help.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't know you went to medical school too!

[adamantined]

How bad is - Why split hairs? I'm pretty sure this entire month has generally just kind of blown.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Tis the season, they say.

[adamantined]

When they said it, I don't think they meant it so sarcastically.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Again that falls back to my point, that there are unrealistic expectations applied to let people down.

Could always kidnap a woman and keep her in your basement.

He went into full hemolytic crisis this morning. Whatever this is has boxed his kidneys but good. I've got him on hemodiafiltration, which is keeping him going for now.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Now you're toying with my emotions.

[Private]

Why the kidneys.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Just helping your Jabba impression.

[Private]

It's consistent with the way his symptoms are mimicking Hemolytic Anaemia. Which he doesn't have. If it remains consistent, this might actually get him out of the deep water.

Doubling--


So far everything's been inconclusive, and frankly I'm not sure he'll have enough blood left for us to keep testing it, at this rate. All we can really do is try to minimize the symptoms, which won't help us find the underlying cause.

Do we still have the bullets? Can those be tested?

[as_damaged]

You'd have to ask Chase; I wasn't there when the patient was brought in.

filtered; i am sorry for being even later >>;;;

[dr_conscience]

What are we dealing with? I have an odd preference for knowing what's going on before I feel like I can really comment upon it.

-- you're doubling your dosage?

filtered; no apologies bb

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

We got a bleeder who keeps bleeding after two gunshot wounds to the leg.

Is there an echo? Yes. I feel fine thanks.

[dr_conscience]

Double makes, what, eight pills a dose? At least?

[And because yes, we can lecture and go into sounding board mode at the same time... (it's a necessary ability okay)]

And I'm assuming it's not as simple as hemophilia or you wouldn't have glanced twice at it. So what are you thinking?
