But again, tell me why we should feel sympathy that someone finally snapped on an exec of this shit company

If small enough… DVT can be treated in an outpatient manner.

PE? At least three days to set up medication and check vitals. Ideally discover the origin - arythmia, onclogical disease, some hereditary coagulopathy.



Also I cannot emphasize enough how wrong that sentence about hypotension/lab tests and other stuff is.

You see… Imagine I have a patient during my internship at ER. Relatively young (32-40) male. Clear as hell pneumonia. Given demography and epidemiological situation at the time I assume it’s origin is Mycoplasma pneumoniae. High fever, elevated liver enzymes, slight corresponding coagulopathy, CRP and leukocytes elevated to all hell, nasty X-ray especially for a relatively healthy male of this age. Like… I can risk it and give him one i.v. fluoroquinolone (our local Mycoplasma is resistant to macrolides) and send him home with pills, but it’s still preferable not to risk a long-term health of a productive member of society just because he was healthy thus far and his vitals haven’t gotten to shit, because they STILL MIGHT.

PATIENT’S VITALS WERE OKAY BECAUSE I MADE SURE THEY WERE.
