Over the course of a day, his troponin level went from 270, to 5,000, to 139,000, indicating that he was, in fact, having a heart attack. They did a heart cath and discovered blockage in a vessel. This would be pretty

I (14 F) got diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis in October 2023 when I was 13. I also had my gallbladder removed on march 2023 because the doctors had found stones in them. Ever since 2018 I've been complaining about pain and nausea after eating or drinking anything. My mum took me to many doctors

I know this seems a tad bit silly but I'd appreciate you taking 2 min of your time to answer this, mainly to calm her down. My (17M, not that it matters in this case) mother dearest is more of the panicky helicopter parent type. I'm buying myself a new PC and am planning on having it on my desk next

I wondered if anyone has some insight into what’s going on with my body? I’m a 32 y/o F. I have been lactating a little from one breast only. ( I used to be on Amisulpride and had ridiculously high prolactin levels (over 1000) so I was put on Aripiprazole to help try and bring the levels down which

Hi guys, I’ll start by saying that I’ve read maybe too much, making me lean to talk here. Here is a small bio of pre-diagnostic: I’m a 28 y.o. very active young white male. 6 feet tall. Weed smoker, no alcool at all. I’ve lost about 50 pounds in two years, now 185lb (after a breakup, took my healt

I don't post often at all so forgive if the story doesn't feel fully fleshed out or written with a ton of experience. Let me know in comments some constructive criticism to improve future posts. I'm planning on posting more stories from work like this. This happened right after I started my shift th

I caught my PBM doing some really shitty things this year... last year it was a suspicion, this year I caught them stealing from the cookie jar. When I shared what happened with my family and friends the majority had never even heard of them! So I’m going to share here where people get it. I hit my

In the last couple weeks I've had a) an over inflated DB who grumpled at me at the window about how he can’t hear me on a windy day, being ID’ed for a controlled substance, and came in to complain about ‘the worst ComeVisitSatan experience he’s ever had and b) another entitled dude who was parked wa

So, two days ago on my shift, a doctor sent in a prescription for a patient for Budesonide nebulizer solution. In his notes, it stated for the pharmacist to watch a video on how to turn this solution (in the individual vials) into a suspension, and have the patient swallow it four times a day. We do
