Wow, on Discovery Channel - Preg woman delivering suffers leak of amniotic fluid into mom's
Posted By: blood stream, causing her blood to turn to goo and on 2006-02-07
In Reply to:
mom having an allergic/anaphylactic reaction.
Heart can't push the goo through.
Body went into shock.
She couldn't breathe.
Her blood began to clot.
Docs did emergency C-section in 6 minutes.
Then mom went to cardiac arrest.
Then another catastrophic thing happened.
Paula began hemorrhaging massively from every part of her body....from eyes, ears, nose, every incision, every bump and bruise. All her blood clotting factors had been used up.
Docs poured blood clotting factors into her.
The baby's chances of survival were at 50/50.
Mom was then noted to have unusual swelling in upper abdomen.
Surgeons reopened c-section.
Astonished to find 1 gal of clot-filled blood. With the clots removed, her blood quit clotting.
Of the 10% of women who survive, most are brain-damaged. Only 1% survive without any damage. She turned out to be in the 1% luckily.
A day later she was holding her baby and was OK.
=========
All this started with her first labor pain of her second child. It was the leak of the amniotic fluid into her blood stream that caused her to immediately start to feel like her throat was "closing up" and she couldn't breathe (anaphylactic allergic reaction). She passed out pretty quickly.

How about phosphatidylglycerol, maybe in amniotic fluid. NM
It's called AMNIOTIC FLUID EMBOLISM.

Discovery Health Channel has a show Sat and Sun a.m.
that are good for CECs if you watch the show then take a test on line on the website. I have a bunch of them recorded but haven't watched them yet, too busy! I may disagree with how the organization formerly known as AAMT is doing things, but I am proud to be a CMT and aim to stay that way!
Anyone catch Discovery Health Channel last night?
I always watch the Plastic Surgery epidoses with Dr. Jan Adams who narrates the different procedures profiled. Anyhow, he was explaining how some patients are more susceptible to keloid formation, and in the subheadings where they type these words, they had it as "keyloid"  It just struck me as funny, being a medical show and all!
I got preg when I was 19 and thought about an
abortion. I had to have an emergency ultrasound and once I saw that little blob with a heartbeat, I knew I couldn't go through with it. If she didn't want to be pregnant, she should not have been having sex! Sorry, but unless it's due to a medical issue or rape, I am against abortion. Thank your mothers for giving you life! I myself was an unplanned pregnancy but I thank god my mom gave me life instead of being selfish...
Checked for a gas leak?

Therapy for what? Because I don't support any woman who spouts an idea because she is a woman?
And you fall into the "therapy" or drug routine? Why not address the issues. You want women to support women no matter how ridiculous the idea is or you want to support a truth, no matter who tells it. The rest of the "therapy" crap you post is BS. You must know that by now.
How are you delivering the work? Are you e-mailing it
or actually delivering it to his office. This would make a big difference since you are paying for gas to drive there, paper and ink to print out the reports, etc. Perhaps you could charge by the page. Personally, I would charge the same for everything since he will have more old patients than new ones, and you said the template is shorter for rechecks. Also, a lot of times they make changes to the template and you still have to edit.
Katrina has stopped 1 of the 2 oil/gas piplines from delivering to our state....sm
Right now they have no idea when it will be back up and they're warning everyone in Georgia about potential $3.00 and above for gas by the weekend as well as possible gas shortages. The governor and energy officials are working on trying to get emergency shipments from other sources.
I'm glad I have a full tank and work from home - hopefully I can ride this crisis out but I know others don't have the work at home luxury.
a guy with a mule and wagon delivering fresh eggs to
Vacation bible school. Lassie every Sunday nite at 7. Building tree forts with my brother. My dad giving some change to live on everytime we threatened to run away.
Good luck, my husband suffers from depression, which he acknowleges, but do something about it,NO-sm
He did actually go the doctor who prescribed Xanax and Lexapro, this was back in March just before my daughter got diagnosed with the Wilm's....to date he has not taken 1 pill. He does talk about it now and then but he is afraid of how the pills will make him feel and of ED too, plus he hates pills in general, can't even get him to take an aspirin/Advil when he has a headache. When he is in one of his "moods" it's pretty horrible for about a week or so, though they are getting better. Had a very long dry spell of 6+ months then wham, he got really bad, and it's been no bed of roses lately with it either but I think we are in a mend phase right now so we will see how it goes. All I can say is try to get him first acknowledge he has a problem, then off to the doctor of course and hopefully if he is prescribed meds for him to actually take them. I have tried to think of ways I could "slip him a Mickey" but that is not going to work and he needs to do it on his own anyway. I hope it works out for you (and me too!)
so its not a common typing symptom? like carpal tunnel maybe? i am the only one here who suffers...
from chronic cold fingers? only while typing.
My experience has been that the shorter the reports, the more my line count suffers, UNLESS
You have docs who truly repeat themselves day in and day out. Then you can clean up and make some real money with having all kinds of normals. Otherwise, I have found that it slows me down to no end to listen to the stuttering, slow ESLs who never say the same thing and where you feel as if you are typing with just your thumbs. Sorry. :_(
But be sure to drink lots of fluid after a treatment and...
you might get on a good calcium with magnesium supplement to aid in good healthy of your bones. My chiropractic treatments have decreased tremendously since I got on the drinkable kind! Good luck......there's enough pain in the MT world these days without pain in one's body, too!

Landed in California without any problems.
Throwing some lighter fluid on that Book of Crap!

Did Discovery land safely?

I've seen the one on HBO, but there is another 2 parter on Discovery
I haven't seen that one, but my son told me there were a lot of things on that one that he hadn't seen before. I'm going to watch for it, but I don't know the name of it.
Pretty cool. I'll be looking forward to a Discovery program about this. nm

A and E... I love that channel. NM

Is anybody else out there addicted to the TV channel A&E?
 I love watching all the crime shows, City Confidential, Cold Case Files, all of them!!
According to the wedding channel..
(from the site):
It is now acceptable for female guests to wear black to weddings, especially in the late afternoon and evening. Black choices, however, should be more ornate than reserved, to give off an air of celebration rather than mourning. Sometimes, adding a little color (vibrant flower pins and scarves work wonderfully for weddings) rounds off the somber look well.
What channel? What Time?? Thanks! nm

E channel also reported this. nm

when was this on, what channel? I missed it? nm

You surely have more than 1 channel on your TV, right?
Well, then why don't you use it? If you like Sylvia, then watch and if not, surely you know how to change your channel or is your remote too far away from your easy chair? My goodness, some folks will like and follow her, nothing wrong with that as there is nothing wrong with someone who does the opposite. I don't think she is anyone's mom that you know so you DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO HER. Tune her out!! Get a life.
The channel was CNBC for the CTS/RSI story
It really was interesting.
Maybe you can contact the shopping channel. nm

P.S. Channel some energy into agility classes
perhaps! Sounds like a great candidate if he/she can jump and get your sunglasses! Lots of classes for agility in most areas, and lots of fun for dog and owner, not to mention exercise! Woof!
What news channel? I have to use my debit as a credit at stores and such. NM

Call "The Dog Whisperer" - Cesar Millan on Nat'l Geo channel!?!?! nm
..
maybe she wants to be the woman.
Seems to me, this is about those woman who only think they look like that...
and unfortunately do not.
Even young girls do this - I have seen young girls more and more, bellies out, cracks out (pardon me, do not know what else to call it- smile), and maybe 2 out of 10 have the bodies for it. The rest are overweight and have bulges and cellulite, etc.
I think almost everyone would agree, if a woman can wear something (or nearly nothing) and look good, more power to them. If they do not have a body like a model, or even close, best to hide the cleavage in public, in my opinion...
Done 2! Come on MTs....help this woman win!
Staples inventors contest. Vote for Julie Savage.
Can't we get this woman out of here?
I would sooner see your Avon and candles! This woman has been over on MT Chat, now here, who knows where else. I don't even believe she is an MT. How could she be when she is so busy with her "company"? Can't we get these types of "free advertisers" off here? Makes me mad!  If fshe is free to advertise, then I think the rest of us should be able to, as well!
Yep, that's right, it was to a woman.nm

One woman actually said she (sm)
spent so much time at the pediatrician's office, she KNEW she could do it. NO KIDDING. She really said that.
She is more woman than you could ever-sm
hope to be in your wildest dreams. What did she ever do to you anyway? come on, take my one on one challenge...make my day. lol
Probably every woman on here has done the same or more
than this person is saying she had to do in order to take care of grandchildren. Most women here work and take care of children every day. She asked did I have grandchildren like you just could not work and take care of them. I did - others have here also- no bashing- just truthful, sounds like a cop out to me and probably others here.
Seems that woman
had some issues. Okay ... I can see being a little irritated, but really! Your director had the right attitude, and now you have your funny little story you can share. : )
No woman asks for it EVER
A woman can be walking down the street naked, she is not asking for rape. No woman ever wants to be raped. Old ladies, young ladies, middle aged ladies get attacked and raped and sexually harrassed and murdered. Women do not ask for this. Until we put the blame where it belongs, on the perpetrator, not the victim, nothing will change. You need some consciousness raising, me thinks.
A woman I worked with ... (sm please)
erased a tape of a day's worth of radiology reports. She pulled all the jackets (before PACS system) and took them to the rad. She apologized sincerely with a stiff upper lip. He did not say a word, read all the films again and life went on. She is now the lead MT and has been there for 15 yrs.
You really need to get a woman in your life!

And what do you consider an older woman?
I can assure you that I'm not an older woman. Thirty is not old. I still get carded buying alcohol. I've never bleached my naturally blonde hair either. The clothes aren't skimpy. I have full coverage with nothing hanging out. I certainly don't shop in the plus or women sized departments either. It's just a change from slob mode, which is the point I was trying to make. Women will feel and look younger by taking a few moments to care about their appearance. Try some trendier clothes, a new hairstyle, a touch of makeup. Besides, if I was a fat, ugly, old lady as you're implying, troll, hubby would tell me. He's the one who didn't like my "comfortable" work clothes to begin with.
omg i know a woman who talks just like you
and is just as much an a** and even her sunday school class doesn't want anything to do with her!!! hehehehehe talking about an ugly, stinky attitude!!! hehehe
psycho woman
You sound like a nice woman that just has lousy tastes in men. First of all, you need to get involved in a church. If you have a large one in your area, they typically have groups of people that are in your same boat or had been in a similar boat. Go there first, and seek their advice. and it would be very good for the kids to attend also.
No. Owned by a woman.

woman of the opposite sex
That's hilarious! Thanks for the belly laugh. I needed it today.... LOL.
I had to reply here to what the woman said
That the radiologist would call the physician by phone and report the serious finding on the x-ray. HELLO: Most (or all) patient charts have an order to them in which patient medical records are to be distributed chronologicaly. I would think Medical Records Manager/personnel would be screaming for the hard copy of the report to be placed on the chart, to be reviewed by QA, Coding, etc. This woman sounds lazy.
one good woman
Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to
change a light bulb?
A: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY?
Because no one else in this house knows
HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know
that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit
in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out.
And, once they figured it out,
they wouldn't be able to find the
light bulbs despite the fact that
they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD
for the past 17 YEARS!
But if they did, by some
miracle of God, actually find
them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair
they dragged to stand on to
change the STUPID light bulb would
STILL BE IN
THE SAME SPOT!!!!!
AND UNDERNEATH
IT WOULD BE THE
WRAPPER THE
STUPID LIGHT
BULBS CAME IN!!!
BECAUSE NO ONE
EVER CARRIES OUT
THE GARBAGE!!!!
IT'S A WONDER WE
HAVEN'T ALL
SUFFOCATED FROM
THE PILES OF
GARBAGE THAT
ARE A FOOT DEEP
THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE HOUSE!!
IT WOULD TAKE
AN ARMY TO
CLEAN THIS
HOUSE!
I'm sorry.... What was the question?
Oh woman...lighten up .sm
... and get a sense of humor! This board could use more giggles and less crabs.
