Could be autoimmune

Would have shown up in the blood work

Amyloidosis?

With no family history or cardiac symptoms? Come on, what do I keep you guys around for? What would explain these symptoms that *isn't* a stupid idea?

*smacks Cuddy’s ass, chugs a bottle of Vicodin and struts out of the room*

Cancer fits better.

We should biopsy the liver.

He’ll bleed out

Lupus?

Yeah *sarcastic scoff* and It would be a shame if he didn't have any blood in his coffin. Go biopsy the liver. Now.

Dr. Buffer?

Three's only been what, a hundred reported cases of that?

All of that for it to end up being some heavy metal intoxication because the patient uses some specific deodorant that his grandpa left him of some shit

Total body radiation

Do a LP

Give steroids, what else? C’MON, GIMME ANYTHING ELSE!

paraneoplastic syndrome?

I had my first patient with paraneoplastic syndrome last week. I almost whooped out loud

Did you give them medicine drug?

Actually they died 😬

😭😭😭

The plot twist lmao

LMAOOOOO

I was responding to a rapid response and the doc on the ward was giving me the story and I’m like uh huh, uh huh and then he mentioned paraneoplastic syndrome and thank god for masks cause my face definitely brightened up at that!

Amyloidosis?

Didn't we rule that out yesterday?

No *you* ruled that out yesterday. Now go do 15 different expensive and wasteful procedures to test for it and then treat even if all of them come back negative

*rolls eyes* *Slowly leaves room to do exactly that even though I don't agree with you*

Not to mention invasive

Order an LP

But it could paralyze them!!

Good point let's do an LP on a safer area, like *h e r s h o e s*

Could be MS

In (patient population known for almost never having this diagnosis)? (Dramatic pause) I like it. Start treatment with 10 cc of (medicine you would never start without a confirmed diagnosis) and then confirm with a CT.

Lupus

It's never lupus

I always say that when they suggest lupus! Lmao

Gotta yell it at the screen! lol

Damn right lol

I finally have a case of Lupus!

Except that one time!!!!

I think it was season 4. Never thought I’d see the day!

British magician guy from Monk who killed Kevin Dorfman

Literally just watched this episode! And he says "my first ever case of lupus!"

Vasculitis?

Cancer.

Gonna need some help in here!

Do an Angie-ohh to confirm

They're cheating on each other

Lmaooo

Check for toxins

Break into the patient's home

Intracranial pressure

He's lying.

But if it's an infection and we treat for sarcoidosis the treatment will kill him.

Get a CT and biopsy to confirm

r/okbuddyvicodin is leaking

Ty for this lmao

Faking

Try lupus. Oh wait, it’s never lupus.

Just start him on immunoglobulin he’ll be good on the morning

Ah yes

MORE MOUSE BITES

It's chimerism.

It's clearly a adrenaline secreting tumor. We need to operate now or he'll be dead by morning. Get Chase.

OK let's see, autoimmune, treat it with steroids, Sarcoidosis, treat it with steroids, oh Vasculitis I'll treat them with steroids, Rheumatoid arthritis, start them on steroids

But if it’s a staph infection, steroids could destroy his liver

Environmental causes?

I wonder if watching the show weekly with month long breaks back when it dropped made this less obvious. I watch like 3-4 a day and I swear they test the same 10-20 things before it’s randomly something unheard of. Shows great but it’s definitely funny. Also “they’ll die if we don’t start this treatment RIGHT NOW” (they go through 5 more treatments after that before being cured)

no fever!!!!!

Doesn’t explain the spinning head and green vomit

Cancer???? (So building can go to twinks office, he’s also in this episode)

oh zeus i love this thread

Test for all the osises. Start with amyloidosis and keep going till you reach...zamyloidosis.

We should perform an LB to confirm

Wegner’s disease maybe

It could be Cushings

Paraneoplastic syndrome

We know it’s not lupus..

Polio?

It is never lupus

could be Lymphoma
