This situation is almost exactly like the case with the exception of opioid dosage. Often I ran out of pain medication before I was due to get a prescription refill. Withdrawal is seriously debilitating.

You guys are the best . Love you guys. Thank you so much for doing this for us .

That staph coverage tho

😂 that was hilarious

Patients will definitely see a giant needle when they are inserting a CGM. However the needle only goes a few millimeters under the skin so it's not as bad as it looks. However, some patients get scared off by this. Source: I am a doctor and I have type 1 diabetes and have been using CGMs for years.

You lost me when the cat appeared 😅, so i had to watch again. Loved it!

This has been so helpful! Thank you!

kidneyboy is the man. I can feel my IQ rising as i listen to him....

I’m fit, i always was very healthy. I don’t drink alcohol at all and workout regularly and I developed severe symptoms of iron overload with bronze skin colour and ferritin increasing from 164 to 440 in 5 months. I have just one copy of the faulty gene of hemochromatosis. My liver enzymes went up as well.

This content is gold

Great episode. Thanks a lot !

Can you invite Dr. Parks back to do a back pain and neck pain episode please?

Why change the acronym?

Love the video but would really like close ups of the shoulder model with the demos he is giving.

I love you for this video!

When talking about osteoarthritis, no mention of platelet enriched plasma or stem cell injections-has that fad run its course?

Primary Care Doctors are inexperienced with dementia patients, do not understand symptoms, or stress on caretakers.

Yesssss, been waiting for Dr Ted Parks to one day do a shoulder episode with you guys! I know there was another fine physician who did a shoulder episode before but Dr Parks just explains and relates things so so well. Excited to watch n learn! Much love from Canada

My partner was a healthy 49 year old male. Albeit with a little high cholesterol. After getting the C19 vaccine, he ended up with a blood clot in his abdomen, which cut blood supply to 1 of his toes. Which caused gangrene in his toe. He had a stent put into his abdomen, and the affected toe cut off. And lots of blood tests. First, they thought it was lupus. Now it's APS. 4 months later, he is getting another toe cut off. Due to gangrene. But Dr's can't find any new blockages. He is on clexaine, warfarin, statin & aspirin. It's not hereditary, as no one in his family has ever been diagnosed with any of the above. They will not accept that it could be from the vaccine.

Thx. Great podcast. Could you please tell more about the role C-peptide levels in planning insulin therapy if any.

Great pod.. appreciate it fellas✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾😎😎

Have taken buprenorphine, patch , it caused extreme back and arm pain , it’s garbage

This is a great podcast!

Ive been on IV Benadryl w/my iv pain meds for 25yrs w/no side effects and im not addicted. Majority of patients who have this combination arent addicts and they dont have extreme side effects. Its ridiculous how MDs are withholding care that has worked for years/decades for patients.

There is no excuse for putting a patients saftey in the hands of a machine. A PCA cannot see or speak to a patient before giving them pain meds.

There is an addiction rate of less than 3% in Sickle Cell patient community. Start there. As for the management of sickle cell the patient will tell you what they need and their charts tend to back them up (most mds dont even bother to look, they just judge). For this woman to speak on SUD when discussing one in the ER is upsetting.

Patients who have either trait or disease and have been misdiagnosed is due to the lack of testing or use of the cheaper test in which sickled cells are counted from a sample.

I’ve been on 10 mg of Lexapro for two years and it doesn’t do shit but make it gain weight

What’s wrong with hydralazine?

Thanks for the info

Boring. Conceived. Lame. 😅

Thank you so much for the quality content production.

I recently suffered a fracture of the greater trochanter and the ER physician gave me a tiny amount of the lowest dose Vicodin and told me to ask my Suboxone doctor to prescribe something stronger. When I did my doctor told me I would have to come in and be seen in person even knowing that I would have to take a bus several miles on crutches to do so. Why do doctors treat patients with a history of addiction so horribly when they know that failing to treat pain adequately can result in something far greater than if they did. It almost seems like they would rather you go and buy street drugs then then treat your pain adequately

Are vertigo and dizziness two different symptoms? Is vertigo "spinning" whereas dizziness is loss of balance? Does Meniere's only cause dizziness?

All you doctor's are same what a joke

These discussions are very helpful for clinicians to understand and stratify plan of care Thank you!!

I just was in MVA and fractured my hip. I take 16mg of bup per day, the ER dr gave me 1 single 5mg norco and sent me home with a prescription of 20 of the hydrocodone 5mg tabs. The one in the hospital offered zero relief. It is a closed displaced fracture of the greater trochanter which doesnt require surgery so the dr told me to call my suboxone provider and give me different meds. Im on crutches and im in so much pain I can barely get out of bed let alone get to the pharmacy . Im nervous about what my Dr will do when i call him. He is a psych dr and based on my previous interactions with him Im thinking hes going to tell me to see an ortho and give me nothing.

Keep it up!

I love your puns. Where do you find them?

Excellent episode!

Is pivmecillinam used for UTI in North America?

Question. My friend just got out of hospital from adrenal crisis… when I look at her she presents totally like a Cushing’s patient, even her endo was surprised from test results… why would that be? Is this common?

Look does this medicine reduce the withdrawal symptoms yes but it does nothing you hearing me nothing for pain

Dr Jessi Gold is a treasure! She's so fun to listen to!

I'm so happy that you brought Curbsiders to KZfaq! I've been listening/watching so much more frequently, because I don't use my podcast applications near as regularly as I do my youtube app.

Subby only works on Pain for a short time ..Long term opiate/opioid use can actually aggravate pain !

Humans have been using opium for 10s 000 years and it only seems to be a problem since the drug war mental pain and physical pain needs real pain relief not subutex i been on that for 20 years and its rubbish for pain v real opiates 😅sorry your wrong and hurting people 😅

What online test would you recommend to test for hereditary hemochromatosis I’m 37 years old exercise, at least four times a week with a body fat of less than 15%. Haven’t had a sip of alcohol in three years. I recently donated blood 2 weeks ago just seeing if it would help me i watched a video that said it could help lower my SHBG and increase my free testosterone. After donating i felt amazing for about a week and a half my bench press went up over 40lbs during that time. Starting feeling bad again after the 2 week mark so had my iron saturation check and ferritin check. it was 47% and ferritin 495 2 weeks after donating not sure what my next step should be.
