My daughter's PLT level was 800 just two weeks after her MMR vaccine at 15 months. We'd just adopted her. She woke up covered in petechiae and bruises. Her diaper bruised her tummy, her sandals bruised the tops of her feet, and she had hand-shaped bruise marks from where I'd rocked her to sleep the prior night.
I'm still pro-vaccine but she skips the MMR!
Sure it's been covered. K of 1.7 Wilkie talkie. Took them to the icu alive after pumping about 160 mEq of k into them in the Ed in about 6 hours.... She refused a central line and took 40 PO BSN GCU 2014. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

40 po??
I run a K at 2.9 so my doc makes me take 40 po daily so I can go to work and live my life. But I get admitted at 2.4 for IV K+ and I know it.
At 1.7 even I would take the central line. I've been down to 1.9 and it's AWFUL.

New one... WBCs 143.6, as in 143,600. I don't get many cancer patients so the labs are always a little bit surprising when I do.

Homeless uncontrolled diabetic would purposely put himself into dka to be admitted during the winter and summer months. Lots of psych issues, frequent flyer. A1c was over 20. Frequently had bg over 1500. Very young. Probably no longer living now
INR of 14 who was scheduled to have a mvr...lol nope. Surgery rescheduled.
Also was taking report from the ED. Never saw this patient because I refused the assignment after I heard his h/h was 4/14 and hypotensive even after receiving 1 of four ordered transfusion. This was going to be my 5th patient in an already heavy team. Hopefully patient went to ICU.

Chronic hgb in the 3.5-4.0 range. Dying of metastatic probably rectal dancer, survived almost a year.
a1c 16.9, very alive and one of my best-behaved diabetics now.
TSH 490. Manic but definitely alive
a1c's of 15, systolic BPs in the 200s, and trigs of 3000 sadly become very mundane very quickly in community practice. It's amazing how resilient the human body can be.

Was it ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia, not the word "all")?
Very close! It was chronic myelogenous leukemia. He was all WBCs and pretty much nothing else. Hgb of 3.-something on admission, platelet count of 2,000, etc.

......TSH 490. Manic but definitely alive.....
I don't understand this one- I thought that elevated TSH always indicated hypothyroid. Can someone explain this to me? :)
The highest TSH I've ever seen before was 157. Pt very fatigued, low heart rate, low B/P, overweight, and so on.
