Yo, 4B has a UI with MRSA now, on top of the massive PE post SAB. We might need to up the Nor and increase the PEEP. But I think it`s time to talk with the NOK about DNR. Will be a turf without bounce back soon.
“[Patient in room 4B] has a urinary tract infection with Methicillin-resistant Staph now, on top of the massive pulmonary embolism post”… surgery, I assume? Not sure about the AB. Second sentence I don’t get, but third is “…time to talk with Next of Kin about Do Not Resucitate. Will be burying them if they don’t start recovering soon.”
“We might need to up the Nor and increase the PEEP. But I think it`s time to talk with the NOK about DNR. Will be a turf without bounce back soon.”
Nor- Norephinepherine increases heart rate and blood pressure.
PEEP - Positive End Expiratory Pressure - used typically on patients on a ventilator to increase oxygen
Turf-transfer patient to a different unit/facility
The last 2 sentences mean the patient is not doing well and will likely be transferred to a different place to be taken care of. Hope this helps. (I do work in medicine)
Yeah, absolutely correct. SAB was intentionally unspecific, but is mostly used for Subarachnoidal bleed around here.
A turf that can`t bounce is one that can’t come back. And only one department does not send patients back: The guys and gals with the freezers aka the morgue.
u/usually Lurker explains the rest &the last sentence is meant as a reference to Samuel Shem - House of God.
A book I highly recommend and who is seen as the bible of dark humour by many health care professionals.

I have no medical background, but…

That pretty close?

As for SAB take your pick.
Yeah, absolutely correct. SAB was intentionally unspecific, but is mostly used for Subarachnoidal bleed around here.

That is actually really close - impressive.
