Hi Lemur. I'm not 100% positive, but I decided it doesn't matter. I met that patient once. He has prepatellar bursitis 'cos he's a young manslut. That's what's going to kill him.A Neurotic wrote: »An 18 month old boy is brought to A+E with shortness of breath. He has been coryzal for the last 2 days, and has been pyrexial for the last 18 hours, for which he has been given paracetamol.
He is normally fit and well. No previous hospital admissions, though he was in SCBU for a short while as he was born at 34 weeks gestation. No other siblings, and family history is unremarkable.
On examination, he is not cyanosed, but is using accessory muscles of respiration, and has marked intercostal indrawing in particular. He has bilateral expiratory wheeze, though air entry is markedly reduced on both sides. there are no audible crepitations. Heart sounds and peripheral pulses are normal, and he's not oedematous. Sao2 87% on air, goes up to 92% on 2L O2. Pulse 180. Resp rate 55. Capillary refill 1 second centrally. Temp 38.8C.
What is your differential diagnosis?
What kinds of phamaceutical agents might help this child?
What would you "label" this child's condition as, when he's recovered?Based on the above evidence, I think we might be soul mates.
Anyway, any posters on your bedroom walls? If so, what of?
Nope! There used to be loads, but I redecorated my room a few months ago and now everything's just... grey and... grey. I do have some framed pictures though. My friend did charcoal/ pencil sketches of Delorentos and Russell Lissack (from Bloc Party.. I had a thing back in the day?) for me. They're... almost posters. Except not. But they could be.
What's the best concert you've ever been at?
I'm not actually sure. Everytime I go to a gig I claim it's better than any other gig I've ever been at, so... well, that's awfully flawed.
One I have fantastic memories from is MGMT in the Ambassador, about 2 years ago, just because I went with 2 really awesome friends. The Antlers were crazy good, but maybe that's because they're one of the last bands I went to see?
What was your favourite childhood toy and d you still have it? Yes! I got a Tiger teddy from Santa one year. I named him... eh.. Tiger. I
Tiger. He's propped up on my shelf. One of the few colorful/ vaguely personal touches in my room.
Any pets? And of course the obligatory 'cats or dogs' question.
I have 2 dogs. Shadow's rayle old, and.. Laddy's relatively new. Both Border Collies. Shadow's awesome, but the new one's an absolute spastic and I hope it gets hit by a car very soon.
I've had various cats throughout the years. I'm defo a cat person.
Cats are much cooler. They just chill out and laze around and stuff, and they're minus-effort. Stupid attention-seeking dogs.
My latest cat was called Snatch. Personally I think that's the best name for a cat ever. Snatch, the pussy cat...
Snatch was killed in a horrific tail-losing accident... poor oul' Snatch.Would you have preferred a more textual-based introduction?
I'm pretty easy. Although I don't think the green "Go" sign captured my greatness very well.
What's your favourite Bob Dylan song?
I'm a small bit in love with him, but he's one of those chaps I tend to listen to on CD and thus couldn't really tell you the names of specific songs. But could probably make a horrific attempt at knowing all the lyrics. According to my iTunes library I've listened to I Want You the most, and Everything is Broken the... 2nd most!
What's your favourite line from The Big Lebowski?
I haven't seen it in YONKS and yonks and yonks. So I'ma go with... eh... Iunno?
Drugs: Yay or nay?
Drugs for some, mini American flags for others.
I used to be mad against them, but the years have changed me.
I may or may not be watching The Big Lebowski....
What's the best muscle in the body?
I'm a big fan of muscles. Love them. NAWT.
Fucking muscles ruined my Summer. THERE'S SO MANY MUSCLES!! WHY!?!
I'm going to have to go for Ischiocavernosus though. Where would we be without it?
What are your favourite words?
I love the word "inordinately". You can say that word like, over and over and it takes AGES to lose its meaning.
Who's your favourite actor?
Errmm. This is another one of those things I always change my mind about. Can I count David Mitchell? I'm quite sure I'll always love him...0 -

Bright Eyes, maybe. I have a few favourites.
If different from above: favourite currently active band/musician?
I'm quite sure Conor Oberst doesn't go under Bright Eyes now so it's acceptable for me to choose someone else. Mmmm, will I go with The National, perhaps?
Favourite song?
The Antlers- Epilogue has been my tune of the year.
Twilight: Yay or Nay?
Big nay. Only saw the first one recently. Very recently in fact...
It made me want to die inside. I won't be seeing the 2nd one I reckon.
I can see why it's popular though, I'm sure I would've half liked it when I was angsty and 14.
Sweets or chocolate?
Big fan of reallllllllly dark chocolate. Like, 90% Cocoa and such. I shouldn't eat regular chocolate, but- big fan! So yeah. We'll go with chocolate.

If only that young manslut could be so lucky.
Also, questions...

Defo Dr. Dre. I'm not black, but I could change. I have the musicz inside me, I can feel it.
Although i wouldn't mind having a cane and getting to wear converse to work, so maybe I could be house either...
Maybe a black, choonzy House?
Favourite (non-alcoholic) drink?
Coffee. Strong, black and extremely bitter. (The same way I like my men, coincidentally.)
Favourite (non-alcoholic) food?
Probably something involving Lentils. Iunno. I get really mad with food and stop eating things I once liked all the time. I had a big thing for Courgettes and the colour green in general over the Summer. I now detest courgettes.
Favourite (non-alcoholic) C&H poster?
Can I pick myself?
If you could elope with just one dashing young ginger, who would it be?
The one on the right. I googled good looking gingers and this was the first picture to come up. I'm horribly disturbed, but also, I haz teh chucklez.

If you could only eat one type of food for the rest of your life what would it be?
No matter what i choose, I'd get rayle sick of it after a bit.
At the moment I'm craving cous cous and tofu. So we'll go with that.
What's your favourite time of the year?
Summer. It's good for 'splorin' than colder months.
Are you religious?
Not even a small bit. I used to read at mass to make my Granny happy (because I that woman more than anything) but I then decided I just wasn't arsed.
Favouite quote?
I memorised loads of Oscar Wilde quotes for no apparent reason a few years ago, and as I was walking past his wee memorial in Merrion Square the other day it reignited my love for Oscar Wilde lines. Very cliche, yes, but wha' a ledge.
"It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious. "
Who is your favourite Irish poet?
Yeats, probably.
What is your favourite poem?
I adore Sylvia Plath. Mirror's probably my favourite of her poems, off the top of my head anyway.

almostnever wrote: »What's the best piece of advice you were ever given?
My 94 year old granduncle told me last week, as I was strung out in bed the day after surgery, that if you always pretend you're 100% you'll feel 100%. I love that advice! Just pretend everything's fine, and everything will be!
Best compliment you've ever received?
A girl I lived with last year told me I'm her favourite person last week. As you may have guessed, I don't actually store up favourite compliments/advice I just choose from recent pools.
5 things you like about yourself?
I like my choice in friends. I have some pretty amazing friends.
I like how obsessive I am. It's probably not something to be "proud" of, but I like it.
I like that I can get away with being a mad bastard most of the time.
I like that I'm great at being mediocre.
I like.... my taste in cardigans.
Languages you'd love to learn to speak?
I'm not a big language lover. I'd love to move somewhere like Sweden, Norway, Finland or Iceland for a few years though, so it'd probably be good times to pick up a bit'a their lingo
Any fears/phobias?
I have an irrational fear of pieces of my electronic equipment falling into water. No, really. Ask A Neurotic. Whilst crossing a canal recently I wasn't freaking about falling in myself, I was freaking about my phone/ ipod/ etc meeting a watery demise.
It comes from years of loss...
Any interest in politics?
Yes, actually. I'd be a bit of a freak like that, but I have quite a "politics family", so it's something I've always been exposed to. I'm not as up-to-date as I used to be, but I still browse politics.ie a bit more than your average person.
Are you ticklish?
YES! Especially my feet.
What do you do when you need cheering up?
Myself and A Neurotic recently needed cheering up and I unleashed my favourite cheering-up method on the public.
Ehhh... I like going to fancy shops and trying on fancy hats. Nothing will cheer you up more than trying on fancy hats.
Pet peeves?
I hate a lot of things. I'm really angry and stuff. Today, so far, Two & a Half Men, Tea that isn't Lyons, the fact that Frasier's a Psychologist, not a Psychiatrist... OH GOD SO MANY EVERY DAY
Guilty pleasures?
Taylor Swift, probably. Yeah. Defo Taylor Swift...
Bottled water,yay or nay?
Yay. It's a big waste of money, but I still reckon it tastes nicer.
Proudest achievements?
Getting my course I guess...
Best "mistake" you've ever made?
Hmmm. Tough one. If I hadn't made a mess of my original LC, I'd just have finished 1st med in UCD as I'd have had to do PreMed, as that was my original 1st preference. But I did, and I ended up in Trinity the following year. I'm in the same place in terms of when-I'll-qualify, but I'm unreal happy where I am.
What inspires you?
My Granny. She's deadly.
How would your friends describe you?
They'd probably describe me as being really great, awesome, amazing, fantastic...
Do you dream in colour?
Yes. Apparently that's odd? But yeah. I also remember most of my dreams. And they also seem to involve camels quite a lot...
Can you dance?
9 years of Irish dancing lessons. About 7 years doing "Majorettes". 4 years of Modern dance lessons. (Obvo an overlap in there somewhere) And still, no! I's probably do well in Moldova though!
Coke or pepsi?
Coke. Preferably Diet Coke.
Favourite thing about Trinity?
The... Pav?
Favourite thing about your course?
I love so much of it. I love the people. I love the lectures. Iunno. I went through a hate phase, but I reevaluated, and decided I love it.
Least favourite thing about Trinity?
It's hard to have a proper minger-lazy-day without feeling extremely judged. Like, a no-makeup day with unwashed hair and scruffy trackies in the middle of exams (C'mon, that's normal exam attire) and you'll genuinely wanna be swallowed up and killed./B]
Least favourite thing about your course?
The fact that "Medicine" is often associated with being a pretentious prick. I usually tell people I do Science to avoid the sickness.

KnifeWRENCH wrote: »Do you actually live by woods, or is your username a cold-hearted deceptive lie?
Yeah, it's a horrible lie. I like the woods though, and there are loads relatively nearby.
Except not at night, as that's when the badgers come out.
If a certain Trinners Med student were to kill a seagull by choking it with a cookie, would your outlook on life ever be the same again?
I can defo say, I'd be a much happier person for it, seeing that certain student's guilt everyday as the seagulls swooped by, seeking revenge.
On a scale of 1 to Craguls, how pretentious indie are you?
I'm not as close to Craguls as I'd like to be, but I bought a vintage monocle the other day, so I'm getting there.
What area of medicine would you like to specialise in?
Psychiatry, probably. Really interested in all'a that. Although I'm not so sure. I wouldn't mind being a GP, and there's loads of things I can see myself doing. I defo don't want to work mostly with kids though. Not a big fan of kids...
When playing Monopoly, which token/character thing do you use? I'm picturing you as the top hat for some reason.....
Big fan of the hat actually! I also like the thimble or plane though...
