It was mentioned about tPA causing angioedema. It is scary and happened to me. I didn't know about it until it happened to me.

Why is meperidine (Demerol) particularly good at treating rigors?
This is another association I learned early in training without hearing a potential mechanism.
For the second installment in my fevers, chills, and rigors tweetorial follow-up, let's have a brief look.

Why do we feel cold (i.e., experience "chills") when we have a fever? Shouldn't we feel hot?
And what are rigors?
Answers to these questions will help us better understand when we should obtain blood cultures.
When do you think is the best time to draw them?

1. Why is ammonia ⬆️ in liver failure and how is this connected w/ encephalopathy?
2. When should levels be checked?
3. Aside from cirrhosis, what other conditions ⬆️ammonia?

On consults this weekend, I faced a question of whether a patient's thrombocytosis was secondary to iron deficiency or due to a clonal process, and it got me thinking...
Why does iron deficiency (ID) cause thrombocytosis?

Ever wonder why eosinophils vanish from the blood after exposure to steroids?
I assumed that steroids somehow destroy them and that is why they disappear.
But there's a lot more going on.

If the evolutionary point was/is to keep iron away from bacteria, why is our main maker of iron stores elevated?

Why is our thirst immediately quenched after the ingestion of water?
As we'll note, it takes ~10 minutes for serum osmolarity to change. And yet thirst drops far more rapidly.
Something must be bypassing the blood...
