I'm listening to the doctor tell me that no signs of stroke on the tests but something was definately wrong. I asked him, in the hallway, was it possible that she was just very drunk ? He checks her inital bloodwork, yes, she was very intoxicated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-7415889537535723602021-05-18T19:35:07.193-04:002021-05-18T19:35:07.193-04:00In the summer after my first year of medical schoo...In the summer after my first year of medical school, I made my first real in-the-wild diagnosis while on vacation: the manager of the rental car place was having a stroke.
