Male patient, 8 months old, AHT, seizures, skull fracture, swelling of the brain, subdural hematomas, clavicle and radio ulna fractures. Don´t know how beings like this two can have children.

Intracranial hemorrhage. Surgery.

My first time doing it  on such a young patient.

I wanted to know if anyone of the rehabilitation department can take a look

I'll take a look at your patient... though... I've never had one that young. I'll try my best though.

That sounds like child abuse to me...

[dr_yanagi]

Thank you.
I´m sure you´ll do your best.

Same opinion, already presented the report of verification of lesions for further investigation.

[Ooc: Sorry for the delay, real hospital life was horrible this week]

[jackal_rn]

Ugh. This is why I don't work on pediatrics. Just what you've included is enough to make me sick at some of the adults/parents out there.

[dr_yanagi]

Sometimes you don´t need to look too much to find the horrible part of human beings. You can see it not only on the pediatric department.

[dr_syuichirou]

I'll take him on as a patient. No offense to my esteemed colleague, but I don't think the little one needs PT quite yet. At least not until the encephilitis has diminished and the brusing faded. Once his fractures have healed, including the skull fracture, then he might be ready....but he'll need a neurologist to look him over as well to check for secondary brain damage caused by the head trauma.

You did your best, Yanagi-sensei.

[peachdoctor]

You took the words right out of my mouth, sensei.

Physical therapy will can possibly help with the fractures in the ulna, but that is hardly a place of concern, especially considering the patient's age. I wish to converse with his parents--

I suspect he is recovering in the PICU?

[dr_syuichirou]

Agreed. It will be at least 10 weeks before the litte one is going to be able to move without the added weight from the casts.

....get in line. I abhor violence, especially when turned to a child. IF this is what it is. A call will have to be placed to Child Advocacy.

I believe so. We can take a walk down there and assess the child.

[dr_yanagi]

Thanks for giving me the opinion of a pediatrician, I really appreciate your point of view.

Yes, he is recovering in the PICU. And we already did the call and presented the report of lesions for investigation and patient´s protection.

[bubblebeechan]

I would offer to take it, but PT isn't my speciality. I'm agreeing with Kaidoh on the child abuse thing. Maybe you want to see someone in the care unit about it?

Or send the parents up to speak with me?

[dr_yanagi]

Do you really want to speak with those two? I wanted to give them to the dogs... .

[bubblebeechan]

I think you and I have different ideas of the definition of, 'Speaking.' Dogs? I was thinking more of piranhas.

Is the recovery progressing?

[dr_yanagi]

Yes, this little guy is strong, his reactions are turning normal with time and care.

About speaking, I don´t think I can see those two without wanting to open their heads and see if there´s something inside...

[spectaclate]

I didn't know strippers were your thing~

[dr_yanagi]

Well... They looked good
