Wait just a minute. I put "holy Shi'ite" one day, and that got bleeped. "Shite" is okay? lmao Perhaps this thread is still under the radar.

Crazy when it's like that, isn't it?! Had a guy whose admission reason was like, belly ache, or some random body part, ended up with TPA for a stroke, amputation for loss of blood flow to the leg, sepsis (which he had before he got there) and DKA because he didn't realize diabetes was something you treat outpatient when you're diagnosed with it.

Ummmm you may want to get those things checked out when they show up.
