I just had a husband boycott his nurse practitioner wife and bring his older child into the ED for one day of fever and he says his wife told him, "They are going to laugh. Fever for one day." Well-- it was a good thing he overruled. The child did need to be there.

My doctor's husband...So true, Richard, so true. My doctor's husband (after I sent him there for an evaluation for frequent headache said)-- "You have to cut her a little slack. That IS how she's trained. To imagine the worst case scenario and rule it out." <br /><br />I just hope my nursing brain kicks in before too much gets out of control!Redwood's Medical Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058568644705726998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365990433045665296.post-66961915951916008112014-01-21T10:30:50.274-07:002014-01-21T10:30:50.274-07:00First off, I'm over half way into PERIL and lo...First off, I'm over half way into PERIL and loving it!! So much action and adventure! You are such a talented writer. <br /><br />Secondly, I couldn't imagine not having any could-be scenarios running through your mind with your intense background. That would be so very hard. Just like you say in your book :-) Glad your daughter is okay. It would be hard not to worry! <br /><br />BEAUTIFUL pic of you and your girls! Such pretty girls!

LOL<br /><br />I totally agree with Richard above - and with your post. Just went through this myself but let the pendulum swing the other way because my husband says I always assume the worst case scenario. Had abdominal pain but endured it for 48 hours while I ruled things out, thinking "this seems like my appendix but surely it's not." Finally went in and it was close to rupturing. Can't win for losing.

One of the disadvantages is that we generally start with the worst possible diagnosis and work backwards.
