How come you don't put on the music that you played anymore?

[lmellick]

@peachy6969 Hah, I put on my own music simply because the video making programs I was using didn't have background music to select from. My newer programs do. Didn't think that anyone even noticed. :-)

thanks for these videos they are very good.

Do you have the patients sign a consent or something?

[lmellick]

@theedexitvideo Thanks and you are welcome. Yes, every patient signs a consent and are told that their video will be placed on YouTube with the possibility that anyone in the world can see them. Every patient understands that these videos are used for teaching about medical conditions and procedures.

[lmellick]

@theedexitvideo Sure, be glad to. Send me an e-mail at lmellick@georgiahealth.edu

Ah, those days when the job at the ER is gratifying and fulfilling :)

[retriverlover97]

not to be judgemental or anything but was he on some type of drug? usaly dialated eyes like that one bigger than the other can be a sign.

[lmellick]

@retriverlover97 Actually not in his case, the left eye had traumatic iridodialysis from his prior head injury.

[retriverlover97]

@lmellick oh ok sorry for my mistake :D

[lmellick]

@retriverlover97 Not a problem. Your input is appreciated.

[mkmcgee]

What dosage of Respiridone was he taking? Was it a higher than normal dose?

[lmellick]

@mkmcgee 1 mg p.o. b.i.d.

What a nice man, what a shame what he has been through though.
