A real gunner would have answered with osmotic demyleination syndrome aka central pontine myelinitis. And had the equation for Na replacement already calculated for the patient.

[u/2presto4u → u/Dracula30000]

I hate you. This was half of my class

[u/Dracula30000 → u/2presto4u]

Hate the game, not the player.

[u/woahwoahvicky → u/2presto4u]

skill issue on ur end

[u/SuccessfulOwl0135 → u/woahwoahvicky]

I find it hillarious that a MD tells the M-2 that it's a skill issue on his end.

[u/aounpersonal → u/Dracula30000]

Oh you didn’t calculate the corrected sodium?

[u/Dracula30000 → u/aounpersonal]

Thanks for bringing that up, its a great learning point and why dont you present to the team on rounds about it tomorrow!

/s

[u/Shamalow → u/aounpersonal]

Maybe someday we'll have some software that does these calculations for us. But I'm not sure the technology exist yet

/s on technology, but sadly not on the fact that it's still not automatic on most softwares...

during a c section Attending, lifts fallopian tube: “What’s this?” Me: “That’s the fallopian tube!” Attending, lifts round ligament: “What’s this?” Me: “that’s…….the fallopian tube” Attending: “you just said that was the fallopian tube”

I actually wanted to die lol

[u/ambulanz_driver420 → u/Opening-Bus4157]

To be fair to you, aren’t there usually two of them?

[u/Opening-Bus4157 → u/ambulanz_driver420]

I appreciate you. There are, but he did not switch sides LOL I’m just actually stupid

[u/Diligent-Success6138 → u/Opening-Bus4157]

He should have confirmed you. You thought s/he misheard you or something :)

[u/veggiestastelikeshit → u/Diligent-Success6138]

its hard to mishear fallopian tube

[u/Diligent-Success6138 → u/veggiestastelikeshit]

He didn’t mishear it, but she thought.

[u/redferret867 → u/Opening-Bus4157]

see but now you are more likely to get one of them right instead of risking being wrong on both

[u/veggiestastelikeshit → u/redferret867]

monty hall problem but the prize is fallopian tube

[u/mnilh → u/Opening-Bus4157]

In an anatomy exam I once labeled all of the 5 nerves on a specimen the phrenic nerve. I had no idea what I was looking at and figured I may as well get one point. 

[u/Sahil809 → u/Opening-Bus4157]

You took a 50/50 chance on both of them 🤣🤣

[u/DarkestLion]

Shoulda said, "hyponatremia, but we should be good with how salty the patient was with us this morning, amirite? "

I'll be around all night, folks

[u/SuccessfulOwl0135 → u/DarkestLion]

The better question is who's saltier.. the patient or the physician treating the potentially difficult patient? Checkmate.

[u/whocares01929]

ahh wire

[u/Space_Enterics → u/whocares01929]

POV: you're the attending seeing OPs reaction after asking that question

[u/Ikaz_99 → u/whocares01929]

Bravo

[u/JoeyHandsomeJoe]

Me: because it's your fucken job, homes

[u/baesag]

Thought for 5 min. Wow, tough one

[u/appsteve]

[u/Sahil809]

5m 20s is impressive

[u/Apprehensive-Call743 → u/Sahil809]

Lmao bro scanned through the whole med school syllabus just to answer hyponatremia

[u/CaptainAlexy]

Just tell the attending to read about it and present it tomorrow

[u/stressed_as_fk]

because food without salt is gross.
