Medical education

[dreaming_lilith]

I was wondering if we have anyone here with a higher medical education? *peers around*

 

[catalina_francisco]

Higher than what? There are quite a lot in the medical field on this board alone, and with various levels of education and expertise.

Anyone specialized in the human body?

just cut to the chase and go to accident and emergency

i believe there are some nurses, and some science majors (BSs).

a dr.(physician) is probably too busy either tending the sick (best case), or making $$ (worst)

now if you'll settle for a doctorate in the humanities...there are a couple, I think.

I am qualified in adjusting the alignment of the ego, but I don't think that's what you want.

Would a paramedic help?

Fire away.

OK, here's a question.

It's asserted in a link supplied in the enema thread "albanypowerexchange" that glucose can be absorbed through the colon, as a source of energy.

True or false?

 

[Vixandra]

The rectum is a very capillary filled area and it can absorbe a lot of things. Thats why the give medicinal suppositories that way.
Can one absorbe glucose that way? Not sure- normally we give an amp of D50 (sugar water to the extreme) via IV though a vein in the arm.
Why would even want to try absorbing sugar that way... unless you were an odd masochistic diabetic who disliked eating. That's kind of far fetched but I'm sure there's someone like that out there somewere.

It's asserted in a link supplied in the enema thread "albanypowerexchange" that glucose can be absorbed through the colon, as a source of energy.

Hypothetically speaking i guess it could. The colon is mainly associated with water reabsorbtion, drugs via suppository are usually abosrbed through this manner. So i guess if you were to squirt sugary water up your backside then i guess it would work. Of course there is always the easier alternative of swallowing the surgary water or running an IV line though.

I remember older nurses ,when I was doing my training, referring to one type of enema that used to have molasses as an main ingredient but I can't recall for what purpose, but I guess it might give you a big sugar hit.Must have been really messy.
When I started, the standard was glycerine and olive oil,
( oh damn I have been nursing way too long!) I think the rationale was the glycerine acted as a hypotonic solution tho, not a source of glucose.

I am a qualified nurse with a Bsc specialising in learning disabilities (mental reatrdation in some countries).

Years i ago i am aware of one person who had learning disabilities (including epilepsy) with additional challenging behaviour, who was also diabetic.

During one seizuire, their sugar levels dropped and an enema with glucose was administered as a life saving measure.

It was not easy due to the rigidity caused by the seizure, but it did work, as on recovery he was his usual self, attempting to bite and cause injury to all and sundry!!

So from that episode, i would say his colon did absorb the glucose and gave him plenty of energy

Milk and molasses enemas are great for people who are very constipated. Yep, it's messy as hell but it works when nothing else will. (I guess this makes me an older nurse. LOL)

Hmmm....

Nothing useful seems to be happening with this thread, but since we have all these medical professionals checking in....LET ME HIJACK!

How should BDSM practicioners identify kink-friendly medical people? What needs to be said so bruises or wounds are not reported to the authorities as abuse?

What is some good advice about keeping things open/honest while still remaining discreet? Accidents happen....suppose the submissive is cut more seriously than planned. How to explain an injury that is not serious or sign of assault yet still requires stitches?

Please share your general geographic location for the sake of reference.

Several years ago i had to have unexpected surgery after a very intense session of play. As i bruise quite easily anyway i was still technicolor on my butt with some livid welts covering my chest and back. my doctor gently questioned me as to their cause and i honestly explained that it was done with my consent and co-operation. She took me at my word and she also gave me some hints about how to minimize the bruising. She may not understand my kink but she accepts it. i've recommended her to several other subs in my area.

i'm located in MS.

Hi Mr. B.,

First, is there a physician's duty to report that adult A has likely been abused by adult B?

Second, Lassarina, since many wives are abused with some form/appearance of consent, I'm not sure why stating consent would protect you, if there's a duty to report.

What about any of the following:

I had an altercation with an unruly teenager.

I was mugged.

(For butt stripes, I admit it's tricky)

How about: I lost a bet

I was assaulted by a perv.

---

Surely most drs. will not check to see if there's a police report. Esp. for another city.

just some thoughts.

For my case, go to a walkin clinic in the gay part of town that has lots of weird and perverted clients, and tell the almost truth.

 

[Vixandra]

For me- if I see a patient that has markings I feel were caused with a malicious intent then I'll bring it up to my doctor and let them ask the questions.
If I see a friend with such markings- and I know he/she's not into BDSM or any similar kink, I'll ask them flat out about it and if there's something wrong go from there.

I'm an EMT and am moraly/ethically bound to help people who are hurt. Be it with or without thier consent, the harming, its my job to help, to be the smiling face that will tell only the doc what you tell me.
I've alerted my doc to what I thought were signs of a patient cutting herself before- turns out I was right and we managed to get her help before it was too late. That one save makes bugging everyone else worth it.
