IBS only explains the diarrhea, and even then, doesn't fit well. IBS wouldn't cause the appearance of fat in stools (steatorrhea). Also, it doesn't explain any of the laboratory values or any of the other symptoms. New rule just like on House when it comes to these cases on here... It's not GRIDS, it's never GRIDS. Also, no fever so it's not infection.

Fat is absorbed in the intestines regardless of whether or not a person exercised. If fat was not absorbed and literally went in one end and out the other, he'd be losing weight, if anything. Edema is caused by excess accumulation of interstitial fluid and has nothing to do with fat intake.

We Have A Case...
Patient, 30 year old male of Finnish descent admitted after complaining of repeated diarrhea, particularly watery stools. On examination, his abdomen appears distended. The spleen and liver could not be palpated. Patient appears to have a lot of bruising and reports that the bruises have been there for a while already. Edema in the legs were noticed and full laboratory workup was ordered. The results were as follows: Low hematocrit Elevated WBC count Hypocalcemia Low albumin Elevated Prothrombin time Normal platelet count. RBC appeared normal in size but lighter in color. Patient reports that he has difficulty exercising due to fatigue. Sample of stool from diarrhea was taken and found to be negative for occult blood and positive for fat. Small intestinal biopsy revealed loss of intestinal villi and crypt hyperplasia. Differential diagnosis?

I'm uncertain about whether outlawing firearms will really solve the problem here in the U.S. Odds are, the people who plan to use the guns for the purpose of harming someone will be able to acquire it in one way or another. Even if the 2nd amendment is overturned and guns are outlawed, it still won't change the fact that in urban regions such as here in Philadelphia, we'll see victims of gun violence coming into the ER on a nightly basis. Families who own guns legally aren't the ones who will be likely to commit assault or manslaughter. In the same respect, the ones who make a living out of crime will be able to obtain weapons in one way or another. So... I don't really know if overturning the right to carry arms will be all that useful from a practical perspective.- SX's homemade donut recipe
RIFK, I didn't even notice until you pointed that out- Fucked At The Age of 13?
When I said "fucked" i meant it in the context of his life is fucked at the age of 13- Fucked At The Age of 13?
I can't even tell which one is the kid and which one is the father. For those of you who live in England, what do they teach kids in school about sex ed? Do they even promote the whole use of condoms and shit? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2233878.ece http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00732/carousel_one_732795a.jpg http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00732/SNN1305AA-380_732314a.jpg http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00732/SNN1304A-682_732346a.jpg- OK, who was it...

Due to popular demand of a few myg0t members who do not have accessible transportation to my clinic, I have decided to hire additional staff who can help examine myg0t forum patients from the comfort of their own home. This comes at no extra cost relative to normal examination fees. Here's a video of an unnamed myg0t member utilizing this service to his advantage: http://www.zshare.net/video/5553758870c1d84e/- Living is going to kill you
Air/breathing is an irony of life. You need oxygen to live, but oxygen interaction with the electron transport chain of the mitochondria produces Reactive Oxygen Species such as superoxide and hydroxy radical, which can cause DNA damage, possibly leading to cancer. Cell division is yet another irony of life. Without cell division to replenish the dying cells in your body, you'd die from so many things I don't even know where to begin. At the same time, uncontrolled cell division is the cause of cancer. The more cells there are in your body, the more screwed you are: Refer to the above point.

Different states have different tag systems. In California, for example, they only have license plate tags, nothing in the windshields. It's over in the East Coast like here in Penn that they have those windshield stickers for tags.- omg i so sore
No need for me to help with this case. If he's telling the truth, he's sore from training in the military. If he's lying about it all, then he's sore from sitting underneath bridges and jumping out at people all day. Either way, no need for me to intervene in this case.- healthy kidney removed from vagina
I actually saw this article this morning. Pretty interesting approach of doing things, doing the whole procedure laproscopically. It has its limitations, though, restricted only to women who pretty much have no intention of ever having kids again or have had a historectomy. Also, LOL @ betadine to scrub the vagina.- my cake for myg0t

Predictions on how long before he makes an alt acct to troll for the next month?- my cake for myg0t
After a brief psychiatric evaluation of your character, I've determined that you are not mentally stable enough to handle being in myg0t. Your personality wavers, from posting flames towards myg0t to making a thread claiming you want to join the above mentioned organization, and then even to making a cake. This picture speaks for itself. Spending time and effort into making a cake that actually looks normal, but then proceeding to photoshopping the picture and undermining yourself. The fact that you did such a terrible job at the photoshop work in itself shows that you lack work ethics in something as simple as modifying a picture, yet had the work ethics to make the cake. This further leads to my earlier assessment that you seem to have problems with mental consistency. My evaluation is that you won't be able to act as an upstanding and consistent member of myg0t. Also, consider seeking psychiatric help.- To The Woman Who Crapped Her Pants...
