My bad, sounded like you were saying entering the pleural cavity causes a pnuemo

Oh the anatomy of a female, especially a geriatric female. The horrors we see and.... Smell in the hospital 🤣🤣

A nerve block makes sense, however, I have to ask, wouldn't a nerve block that high make quite a bit of that side of the thoracic area and abdomen numb? Also, which nerve are they targeting for this?

I know the anatomy of the thoracic cavity. I've assisted in more thoracentesis' than I can count. The pleural space isn't the issue. It's the lung tissue that causes a problem. You can't do a thora without entering the pleural cavity

They are practicing punching the ball out on him. Cook better be ready to hang on to that ball

You really don't need cutting edge tech. I've seen dr's use their phones with an ultrasound attachment to find pleural effusions, visualize the heart, etc... We don't at bedside all the time. They locate a pocket of fluid big enough to safely drain, mark the spot, insert a needle with catheter until fluid begins to drain, pull the needle leaving the cath and wait until it's done draining. Pull the cath and all done. The margin for error is small though. Go to far and you cause a pneumo

Ya, those headaches are typically a result of CSF leaking from the injection site. If it persists, they have to go back in and fix the leak

I HIGHLY doubt this had anything to do with pain killers being administered and "popping" a lung. You wouldn't be putting a local that deep and through the ribs. Locals aren't given that deep and neither are opioids or nsaids. Maybe he had a pleural effusion and they were doing a thoracentesis. That very well could have done it, and it happens more frequently than you would imagine.

I think it's a pretty cool, unique idea as a limited run collectible from the old stadium. Seriously, I will pay someone to get me a six pack and mail to me. I'd like for a keepsake in my bar

Will someone tell Ed to put his Gawd dam horse away already???

I thought the same thing. Why are you kicking it off to a team you haven't been able to stop? Also, you have a much higher chance at recovering an onside in those conditions

I know, it was just a joke. However, it was pretty clear Higgins smacked his head multiple times, even grabbing at his head while getting up. By Tua treatment, I mean that the team kept sending him out there with a "passed" e v a l

Higgins got the Tua treatment today

McDermott has 13 seconds PTSD. Big play resulting in TD to take the lead to swing the game and he calls TO. He is worried the team is outta control and trying to regain composure

Omfg.... A TO after a TD????
