Question 1

whats glasgow coma score mean?

Accepted Answer

Scottish head trauma: A major hospital in glascow scotland published levels of coma in head trauma patients.  It has now become the standard throughout the world.  It is a number from 1 to 15 that can describe the neurological condition of the patient.  There are five categories each of which can get a number 1, 2, or 3.  A fully conscious and responsive patient will get a 15 with serious injury usually below 7.

Question 2

what is the glasgow coma scale?

Accepted Answer

Level of response: The Glasgow scale is a measure of responsiveness of an individual who has experienced some form of brain trauma.  It is used so that when transferring a person from the care of one individual or institution, all will understand the condition of the injured person and can follow to determine if there is improvement or deterioration.

Question 3

why does my anxiety make me constantly think bad stuff is going to happen to my daughter who lives in glasgow at uni its driving me mad can anxiety do?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety patterns: Anxiety commonly results in obsessive thought patterns of worry.  There are many possible foci of such thoughts, but physical illness and family members coming to possible harm are frequent ones.  These are your brain's attempts to keep you safe, as if your worry will protect from bad things happening.  Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be very helpful with anxiety, and may provide relief.

Question 4

can "lidocaine" affect the multiple organ failure of a severe dka {100mmol/l} with glasgow score of 4/15?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Of course it is important to know the dose and the route of the administration, but if you are talking about about severe diabetic ketoacidosis, therapeutic use of Lidocaine should not worsen multiorgan failure, to my opinion.

Question 5

iam 27 weeks pregnant. i have low placenta .i want  to travel by car neary 8 hours is far glasgow to london .iis it safe if iam travelling .

Accepted Answer

Confirm with doctor: you will need to get clearance from your doctor. If the low placenta indicates a partial previa they will probably not want you to travel.

Question 6

what's the fastest recovery time of a tbi with 5 brain bleeds 3 skull fractures and a glasgow coma of 3?

Accepted Answer

Hard to predict: You are describing a very severe brain injury. Recovery time is hard to predict, but is never fast. The earlier you see any improvements, like increasing gcs, the better. And the faster that you see these improvements, the better. Recovery from an injury this serious takes many  months to years, and most people do not return completely to the way they were.

Question 7

is the 'herald patch' quite common in winter and does it go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

Herald patch: A herald patch is a 5-7 cm salmon colored patch on the skin seen with pityriasis rosea (pr).  It is presumed this is a viral infection from human herpes virus 7.  Pr is a harmless (unless you are pregnant) skin rash that causes small, itchy spots on the trunk, arms, and legs that usually lasts 4-6 weeks but rarely for months.  The rash takes the shape of a christmas tree on the back.  May be itch.

Question 8

am i dying?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, we are all in the process of dying, only the rate of change is unknown

Question 9

am i dying?

Accepted Answer

We all are: A 3-word question with no details... well, life is short on Earth, regardless of whether a person lives 3 days, 3000 days, or 30,000 days. It is not length of one's life that matters, but the quality of the life lived. The goal is not to live a long life, but to live a good life. Even if a person makes it all the way to age 82, that's only 30,000 days.
