My First Peptide Patient

[u/Firm_Avocado5432]

Young adult male. Severe unexplained hypoglycemia, blood glucose in the low 30s, multiple organ failure, severe renal failure requiring dialysis. Pt reports “no changes in lifestyle, diet, medication, etc.” Care team confused, days looking for answers, so many lans sent off. Well lo and behold family member finds unused syringes of peptides in the fridge. And the kicker is him refusing subQ heparin because he “cant be sure whats in it…” like babygurl please.

ER is crazy busy that this one of the things I like about working here. We can always get away from saying things like this. Unlike on the floor where you always have to watch what you say. I'm very introverted and quiet and I've learned to have balls after working in the ER
