Most people tell me they felt kinda shitty after t Most people tell me they felt kinda shitty after their Covid shot, especially symptoms like fatigue, headache, body aches, sweats, chills, nausea. After my first shot in Dec, I had fatigue and headache, i took 650mg Tylenol and a nap and was fine. The second shot, which many are now getting, tends to be more intense. Yes, shittier. I got the headache and fatigue again, this time with sweats at night (rare for me). I hydrated, took my Tylenol and a nap, and was fine.Most feel better in a day or so, it's not a red flag to feel crappy for a couple few days. But if you feel bad for a week, check with your doctor. I had a patient who felt bad for a week after her shot and she actually got Covid right before getting the vaccine. Talk about bad timing.Normal for your shoulder to be swollen and tender at the injection site, but if that's worsening after a day, or getting redder and hotter, have someone take a look.Yes, there is a cost to getting the vaccine. Feeling like shit for a day means YOURE IMMUNE SYSTEM IS WORKING PERFECTLY, and is hard at work making the antibodies to fight this some beach Covid, protecting you, your loved ones, an
In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda leads Luke Skywal In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda leads Luke Skywalker to a cave and then leaves him to confront his greatest fear, Darth Vadar. In a brief saber battle, Luke slays Vader's head off but when it falls to the ground and the mask blows up, it's Luke's face that is in the helmet. Even deeper than the fear of being killed by Vader, was turning into him. Greater than his fear of death was Luke's fear that he would abuse his powers with the force, and turn to the dark side, becoming the very villain he set out to destroy.Remember that scene? I was recently watching a documentary on Star Wars where George Lucas credits Joseph Campbell (The Hero's Journey) for the basic structure of the story. A hero receives a call to adventure, refuses the call, crosses the threshold, etc. A key element in every heroic tale is confronting the deepest fear, often represented by a cave or the belly of the whale, or the biggest baddest evil thing in the movie, that the hero has to conquer to survive.These movies are entertaining to watch heroes take down villains, but they resonate so deeply with us BECAUSE at some level WE ALL ARE HIDING FROM OUR FEARS. What is my greatest deepest fear? That I'm probably not even conscious of, but lurks beneath the surface. And how is my destiny, my success, my happiness, somehow intimately tied to going down to confront and conquer this fear? Because this, Joseph Campbell would say, is the key element to the Hero's Journey.I can't stop thinking about this. And I think it has the potential to be healing, in a medical context with how people see their struggles and disease.Gone into any caves lately?
Repost @chrisweidman ••• This is a followup Repost @chrisweidman ••• This is a followup to the gruesome leg fracture suffered by UFC fighter Chris Weidman last Saturday night, I wanted to walk you through his x-rays that he made public (IMPORTANT***, because it’s his private health info not ours until then) on his social media.⠀Slide 1 • Both bones (the larger tibia and the smaller fibula) are fractured and displaced — where they aren’t touching or overlapped anymore. This will need to be straightened out, and in order to keep them in place, surgery will be necessary.⠀Slide 2-5 • The orthopedic surgeon inserted a rod in the tibia, called an intramedullary rod (“intra” = within and “medulla” = the hollow part of the center of the bone) to hold the bone together, with screws closer to the knee and ankle.⠀Chris mentioned that the skin was open above the fracture (this is called an Open or Compound Fracture) and is another reason to operate sooner to clean it out, and given antibiotics to prevent skin bacteria and environmental germs from infecting his leg.His open fracture was caused by him trying to take step on his broken leg (when he was amped on adrenaline in the fight). 🚨⠀You can see in his post-op xrays the cast, which he will be in for 6 weeks, where he will be non-weight bearing, in crutches, pain meds as needed, etc.⠀He appears to be recovering well. Interestingly, his bone will heal and the rod will stay, so his leg will likely be even stronger in the future. 🩺🦿😎⠀#ufc261 #ufclegbreak #ufc #weidman #theallamerican #recovery #chrisweidman #DoctorLarryTalksSports
Warning, this is gruesome. 🚨During the UFC figh Warning, this is gruesome. 🚨During the UFC fight last Saturday, Chris Weidman @chrisweidman suffered a leg fracture when he kicked Uriah Hall @uriahhall ⠀Dr. John Neely MD, a fellow ER doc and friend of mine, break it down for you.⠀2 bones in the leg, the tibia and fibula. His fracture wasn’t at the ankle or the knee, but more in the middle or the shaft of the bone. I didn’t see bone poke through the skin so it wasn’t compound.⠀If he came into my ER, I would have medicated his pain immediately and splinted his leg for stability, then gotten x-rays to evaluate the fracture. If significantly angulated, we may straighten it before more securely splinting it, and then called Ortho to schedule surgery. Many need to be admitted for surgery within a day or so for this fracture.⠀Brutal, but bones heal. 🦿 The amount of force he generated with the kick to snap his leg is impressive.⠀We wish him a speedy recovery. 🩺 Check out the full break down of this injury on the Channel, swipe up in stories! ⠀#UFC261 #chrisweidman #uriahhall #ufc #weidman #weidmanlegbreak
