Question 1

why do they give me a wristband in the emergency room?

Accepted Answer

Safety: You get a wristband whenever you're in the hospital as a patient, not just in the er. This is to make sure you're the correct person and to avoid mistakes like giving you the wrong medication or giving another patient medication that was meant for you. Having the id bracelet is simply a matter of safety and security.

Question 6

what is the meaning of bimodal pain?

Accepted Answer

Not 100% sure: This is not a common term used, so i cannot be completely sure. However, i would assume if someone told you your pain was bimodal, they were trying to tell you that you are having pain for two different reasons. For example, if you have neuropathic pain in your leg and a sprained, ankle, that could be seen as bimodal. Normally we use bimodal to describe rates of pathology and diff age peaks.

Question 7

r.d.w=18.2% ,whats meaning or caused?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific finding: An increased RDW indicates the presence of increased variability in red cell size. An increased RDW is commonly found when there is a nutritional deficiency (eg, iron, folate, (folic acid) and vitamin B12), resulting in variability in red cell endowment and, therefore, size. However, the finding of an increased RDW is not specific for any one abnormality. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
