When I sub in at urgent care I don’t usually worry about getting COVID or the flu.
But I’m a little concerned about getting rabies from the break room.

Btw this was my patient who had acute hyponatremia attributed to HCTZ a few years ago. Repeat last week was 134 and he’s been fine since stopping the diuretic :)
Winner: lowest sodium - 105

Yeah - we try to avoid making jokes about how “backed up” they are in G.I. 😜😂
Not gonna lie…it did. Then I always wonder if I went too far 😬
But the local admin is good and the rest on the chain were other primary care docs - so I think I’m safe!

Holiday gifts from patients so far:
- 1 nice card
- 2 boxes of chocolates (shared with staff)
- 1 bottle of unlabeled moonshine (at my house while I google “risks of methanol poisoning”)

Me in clinic: Tells patients to improve exercise, get more fresh veggies and whole grains, more fish, avoid sugar sweetened beverages.
Me at lunch: ooo free cookies in the McDonald's app!!

I actually get logs on all sorts of stuff…more sticky notes than you would expect. For some reason people like to get them started on teeny tiny pieces of paper.
Me: We just did a nice thorough physical. Any last thing before you go?
Patient: no I feel great!
Me: okay see you nex-
Patient: although last night I did have crushing chest pain so I chewed two aspirin and then went to bed. Any idea what that’s about?

Me: …uh, well, you could take it off
