Scabies: 33 year old gentleman with scabies infection treated with oral therapy now with new red rash. You may require treatment with oral and topical therapy. You may be extremely contagious and you should avoid scratching the scabies rash. Contact your doctor and read the CDC decontamination protocol for your close contacts, bedding, clothing,etc.

Pilodinal cyst: Pilodinal cysts are relatively common and are often found near the coccyx (tailbone). These can cause discomfort, pain, get infected, become a fistula and can lead to more problematic complications.

Question 5

hi
i have mds 5q del

can i have and make a baby?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The deletion involves only the diseased blood cells in your system. Before you marry, you, your prospective bride, and your hematologist need to have a frank, no-punches-pulled talk about your long-term life expectancy. Extended family may also be there. The decision to be a father is the most serious one that you will ever make, and you must consider everyone's true well being. Good luck.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Depends on use: I had some trouble understanding your question, particularly your frequency and intensity of mj use. Urine tests for cannabinoids (active ingredient in marijuana) remain positive after discontinuation of use for up to 7 to 10 days in a casual cannabis user. The test may remain positive for two to four weeks in a heavy user and for months in a chronic heavy user.

Question 8

why didn't they give my dad the life saving drug to stop a severe stroke? my dad was visiting me in phx a couple of years ago. he started having symptoms of a stroke so i rushed him the three miles to del web hospital. the nurses said i did real good in g

Accepted Answer

Strokes : Strokes can be caused by either a clot or a bleed in the brain. When your father presented in the er with symptoms of a stroke, the following factors would have been considered prior to treating a stroke: last known well (lkw) - the time he started showing signs of stroke, results of a brain cat scan and determination of type of stroke.
Time is of essence when treating a stroke. If the stroke is related to a clot, there is a window of opportunity (typically withing 2-3 hours of lkw) where the drugs given to treat stroke can be given and be effective. If this window of opportuity is missed, then the drug cannot be given. There are procedures that can be done to remove clots during stroke. It does not sound like that route was taken. 
Also, it is always recommended that when stroke symptoms are observed, to call 911. Time is saved when 911 is called, as opposed to driving your loved one yourself.
Talk to your doctor about the events that occurred in the ed to answer your questions. It is recommended that you review your father's medical record with the doctor to understand why he/she made certain medical decisions. It is also appropriate to call the risk management department of the hospital as they can help facilitate medical review.

Question 9

mri back. looks like a lot of degen rotator cuff issues but the pain is bad! work is lot of heavy overhead lifting.  (bread del.)  will therapy work ?

Accepted Answer

Rest first: The first thing you need is some rest.   At your age though, you need to keep moving the shoulder, but not so much as to exacerbate the injury.  Your orhtopod and therapist can best determine just how much you can push it, and your job sounds like it may be excessive, at this point.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
