Ok just thought i would share..had a patient today, full vent support following a massive stroke. Patient of Dr. X, who by the way is a total pain in the butt and thinks he is Gods gift to medicine. Patient had to go for MRI (and believe me. when Dr X says take him, we better run, cause when he gets back he expects it to be done, and the results waiting on him.) So, get patient off vent, bag him all the way to MRI, only to find out that we cant get it right then, because patient has a METAL member implant....METAL!! Never heard of such. So we have to run around trying to get info on it from family, have to call physician (in another state) that put it in, etc, etc to get cleared to have the test...needless to say that after SIX hours of bagging this guy, he finally got his MRI..only to show what we already know...massive infarct and pretty much zero probability of recovery...oh the things people have in their body...METAL!!!!!
