Patient comes in today with a history of GI bleed and as I am going through her H&P, she asks me various questions about her condition but as I was ready to finish up the H&P, this is what she asks me:
Patient: Now I've heard that people can get allergic reactions to the flu shot if they're allergic to eggs, is that true?
Me: Yes, there is a possibility. Generally if people are allergic to eggs we may suggest that they don't receive the flu shot.
Patient: So I just received the flu shot and I have a question. The morning before I received the flu shot I was eating eggs and it didn't taste good to me. Will I have a bad reaction?
Me: :|
Attending was telling us about an email he received which has a daily (weekly?) case which challenges the physician to diagnose within a minute.
Attending: I got this email today with a "diagnose within a minute" case. I was reading it and it started with, "30 year old woman cannot swallow meat". I thought to myself, "Nope, diagnosis over!"
