ant body with any suggestions to tell her

I work med/surg and my next door neighbor had a question for me that was kinda out of my field. She has been having mild buring sensation when she urinates for the past month, but not everytime she goes. Back in december she was treated with a 7day antibiotic for a mild UTI. Now she is also having some itching in the perineal area mainly where the lady partsl lips are. She wanted to know what was wrong but I had no clue. She is not having any discharge or foul order, no blood etc and her menustral cycle is normal. TH elast time she had sex was early December. Any suggestions, I told her to go to the MD.

I totally agree with this. I mean I know this may be your mom, but why do CPR on a 85 pound 90 year old female???????????????

Has anyone heard of psedotumor cerebri. If so let me know, MD (neurologist)told me I had this when in ER last month. Is this really bad and how do you get it? I am a relatively healthy 24 yo blacl female with no past medical history, except for fibroids and anemia. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your reply and no I have never had a shunt. I will follow-up although. I was admitted and kept over nite for one nite by a neurologist. I followed up with him the following week and he started me on a diuretic called Diamox 1 tab BID, and since I have started taking it I noticed that it feels like I am leaning and walking to the side even though I am in a upright position, maybe my equilibrium is off. Let me know what you guys think

I was a pt in the ER in the early part of December and they did a spinal tap on me because I was complaing of severe headaches for the past two weeks, extreme nausea and a stiff nech x 2 days. They did a spinal tap and they siad my fluid has high pressure. The ER doc said it was well above normal limits. Should I be worried and what would cause this?? By the way the headaches are gone and no more nausea or symptoms, etc.

I have this happen all the time on my floor as well. Sometimes the MD writes and order to have pt sign consent form and I will go in there and ask if the MD has talked AND explained the procedure or test, if yes I sign on no I do not sign. Most of the time I just wait till the patient goes down for the procedure and have them sign like in special procedures or DTC etc, that way it is no longer on me.

I am 24 years old and used to work 3-11 and felt like I was at work all the time and all I did was work. I switched to 7p-7a about 4 months ago and LOVE IT!!!. I wish I had did it sooner, if I do my schedule right I can have 5 days off in a row w/o touching my PTO, like a mini vacation. You will love it was hard at first and still is sometimes, but you will love it.

please somebody replt to my post
