Can injecting a foreign substance other than medicine cause you to collapse?
Q. I saw this in an anime this person injected someone with an egg yoke tricking them into thinking it was vitamins, it made me curious on what the medical side effects of injecting a foreign substance would be? So does anyone know what it would do to you medically? Either way it most probably can't be good lol Oh and the person in the anime that got injected with the yoke collapsed and is in intensive care, I wonder if that would happen? In the anime they called it "Anaphylaxis" is that right? Thanks

A. Injecting any foreign substance into your body, thereby bypassing the natural filtration process of the body is dangerous even if it is medication, often especially if it is medication.

Can health care be "over managed" ?
Q. I mean, a doctor might "give me three years". Hospital calls me in after two years for a check. Gives me medicine to mimic expected symptoms. At two years six months I'm in a wheelchair. I'm admitted to some sort of intensive care. Won't I likely die on schedule if the system is over managed.

What would an Anesthesia Assistant do in the ER? the ICU?
Q. Anesthesia Assistants are specialty Physician Assistants. I have heard that they commonly work in Trauma and Intensive Care (also Critical Care). I am trying to pursue a careers in medicine and am wondering what an AA would do in these departments. Thanks!
Asked by Daniel - Tue Jan 5 13:34:58 2010 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I am a PA in a surgical / trauma ICU and am not aware of any anesthesia assistants working in ICUs. AAs are not PAs as previously mentioned. Many physicians who work in the ICU are trained in anesthesia and critical care as there is overlap in the fundamentals such as ventilator management, pain control, hemodynamic monitoring, invasive procedures such as intubation and central line insertion. Most health care professions have an organization or society. Try to find one for AAs and you will be able to get more info.

A. If you have had a heart attack the cardiologist and family doc normally see you..they can also call in a nero doc too... Every doc is an Icu doc..they are the ones who write orders for the patient to be in icu and in that case all the doctors following the patient will also see them in the icu. so as far as intensive care docs every doc no matter what field they are in can do intensive care...and if you want something more gory..be a surgeon. Internal Med docs usually have offices and see patients in the hospital. Good Luck we need good docs!!

A. I am very sorry for your loss. I have the feeling that it is a very complicated story...she probably had something more serious than a pinched nerve if she ended up in intensive care in the first place. Without knowing the whole story, it is impossible to say what caused the gangrene and the bedsores: poor circulation or poor medical care (or both). I hope the lawyers you consulted gave you their reasons for not taking the case. At this point, it may be too late to sue someone anyway because of the statute of limitations (it varies by state).

Ask for a MRI. Sometimes it will show edema or ischemia (is-keem-ea) that a CT could not detect. Sometimes an injury to the brain (stroke) will not show up until 3 days later.

As for your second question regarding which volunteer services are most needed, that varies from hospital to hospital. I suggest you call the hospital, ask to speak to volunteer coordinator, and say, "I signed up to volunteer with the hospital, but I wasn't chosen. I'm still very interested, and am willing to volunteer wherever needed. I'm available to volunteer before 9 a.m., and between 9 and 5. Are there *any* opportunities I could apply for?"

Asked by ZaR NathanieL - Sun Apr 13 05:06:36 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Med school itself takes 4 years, regardless of what you have taken before or what your specialty is. After med school, you still do have more training to do (residencies), but it isn't school, in the sense that you aren't in the classroom, and you will be paid, rather than having to pay for it. So, regardless of your specialty, you would have one year of a general residency (internship). For cardiothoracic surgery, you would need a general surgery residency (1-2 years) and then two years of cardiothoracic surgery. For internal medicine, you would have another two years after the internship (I'm not sure of the subcategories you mention, but I suspect that they would call for another year or two after that).

You will also be followed by whatever specialist may be dealing with your condition, such as a surgeon, cardiologist, neurologist, etc. Whether your primary doc or a hospitalist follows you in the hospital is dependent on your doctor. Some doctors don't do hospital work, as it takes a lot of time to do. Others want to provide all the care for their patients so they do see them in the hospital. As to your internal med doc question, they work in clinics or hospitals.
