Time for a joke.
Actually a very short tale about experience in the medical profession.
You cannot find everything in textbooks, personal experience helps.


CASE 1
An anxious mother of a 4yr old boy phones
his young, recently specialized pediatrician:

"I'm worried for my son, doctor. He seems all
right but his pee is actually bright green!"

The young doctor reassures the lady, saying
that a urine analysis could be indicated if
this little problem persists in the next few
days.  Then he starts searching any possible
cause in handbooks and pathology texts getting
more and more confused between all the various
pigments and green substances...

CASE2
Same question to an old white-haired pediatrician.

He smiles on the phone, going on writing a recipe
for the little patient he just examined:
"There is no reason to worry, madam, your
kid had probably ...  "   []


Possible answers are welcome!   []

I don't seem to get it.. Are we meant to carry off from the dot dot dots?

Hi SpeedySeany,

You simply have to report the solution of the green pee problem!

[Seany]

Oh bum.. That's hard!

OK. Case 2.

"There is no reason to worry, madam, probably your kid had just drunk some lime juice."

[Seany]

OR.. Case 2.

"There is no reason to worry, madam, probably your kid had just eaten some asparagus"

No good. Neither lime juice or asparagus should be enough to turn your pee reeaaally green.

What about artificial food colorings  or certain medications ?

You know it's not fair to take the piss from young children - it scars them for life.

so...if it turns green... []

ikodit!

a sedative overdose?

[iko (OP)]

Why a sedative overdose?
A sedated child should start peeing green?
The answer might come from another topic in Med.

It is very important to know the basics of these simple things:
it is easy anatomy and shouldn't be restricted to nurses and docs.
You may simply save a life knowing how it works and what should be done.
Little kids swallow grapes or round objects frequently,
even little toys, and may choke to death in minutes.
You will have to ACT, quick.
Somebody else will call 911.
Little Big Seany IS fast.

...remember he was a 4 year old child.

ikomon' is not so difficult!
