    I was admitted to the ER with uncontrollable vomiting with a ketone strip indicating heavy ketones in my urine, due to gastric distress. WBC was 20k no fever. I was treated as an appendicitis patient.My brain was affected I was heavily confused and released after several hours due to covid crowding. My pcp followed up by prescribing anti-vomiting drugs Zofran and Phenergan and scopalomine. patches as my blood pressure went from 200/120 to 90/60 i was tachachardic. Did DKA cause permanent muscle and brain issues?
  • Wonderful, as always, sir. Medical student here from India, have deep appreciation for your efforts and the content which is always very well researched and worthy of being in a standard textbook. I've seen a few of our professors copy some of your slides sometimes, don't know how you'd feel about that. Wish you great health and success in life. (And if I may request you to post on some specific topics - please expand your series on interpretation of lab investigations, eg CSF; and perhaps a series on neurological diseases. I understand that you'll have a long list of prospective topics already, and thank you for considering viewer suggestions.)

    Very good video I’ve been a hospitalist for 3 years and this was still informative. I wasn’t clear, Did you mention DKA is being treated with sub q insulin? How are they addressing the IVF and are they just using a standard sliding scale?
