i havnt gone thru medessentials...so i really can t comment on it...saw ur post in the other thread so i guess u know about UW..
its not laziness, its boredom. if i can manage 25 min qs/day in the initial 10 days, followed by 90/day in hte last 20, so can u.
u c u dont need to have those 10 days as a continuum.

when ui cant stick to the books, its a >25 /day...if u have a good studying speed, its a 25qs/day on the areas u cover.
smiling face
advice from another lazy soul..
good luck

C. Rhabdomyolsis (alcoholic with a recent stress, hematuira on dipstick without significant RBCs on urinalysis + the most important evidence of intrinsic renal failure i.e. high serum creatinine + BUN/Cr ratio of 1:10)
triad of renal cancer: fever, hematurea and pain in flank

bladder cancer presents with hematurea that is painless

Patient have the right to refuse treatment except when doing so would pose a threat to the health and welfare of others.
hence pt with meningiococcal meningitis shud be convinced to get Rx

febrile seizures
They most commonly and should not be diagnosed in children under the age of 6 months.
or over the age of 6 years.
In many cases, the first sign of fever is the onset of the seizure.
It has been theorized that the seizure is triggered by the rapidity of the rise in temperature, rather than the actual temperature reached.
