He was banned from trying to join any branch of the military because he did so poorly on the ASVAB (and probably also failed a psych eval). While many police departments are deeply corrupt, I don't think any of them want the bad press that would come with hiring him. Maybe he can get hired as a deputy in a sheriff's department run by someone like Arpaio.
"Assault" is shouting and threatening, "battery" is actually making contact. It sounds like she got the pepper spray out in time to prevent him from touching her, which is a very good thing.
Usually the situation they put themselves in is taking a job as a cop and refusing to deescalate any situation.
I'm pretty sure I've gotten a couple board questions wrong because I leave stuff like conversion disorder/functional neurological disorder so far down my differential that it's basically in the trash anyways. I see it as a diagnosis of extreme exclusion.
The immune mediation would explain why AIDS medications might work though, particularly if it's one of the viral synthesis inhibitors.
I suppose my next question would be as to whether or not ME appears to be a centrally-mediated disease like fibromyalgia is. There are a lot of very strange ways problems with the central nervous system can present, and it seems like ME has a broad enough swath of signs and symptoms that it is either a multi-system disease, or of a centrally-mediated etiology.
Correct. I'm a third year medical student on my clinical rotations right now, and I worked in the medical field for 4 years before starting med school.
Empiric treatment is not the broadest spectrum possible. Yes, they will put someone on Augmentin for a human bite, but that's very different from putting someone on IV vancomycin or meropenem. The augmentin will probably cover anything in that bite, but if the culture comes back showing resistance, then you switch to something else.
I've been in clinical rotations and my attending physicians have been very clear about antibiotic use and there is a lot of clinical evidence and guidance for minimizing broad spectrum use.
We like to use the narrowest spectrum antibiotics possible to limit side effects and breeding resistance. Also, the really broad spectrum ones are expensive.
Not even a sip for me. I was offered small amounts of champagne or wine at special occasions, but I never drank any because I could smell the alcohol on it and didn't want to.
I've just always been some variant of the "mom friend" and after I turned 21, I was still the DD most of the time.
