When you bring in your loved one, 10 days after brain surgery, toxic mold is less likely an explanation for altered mental status and ataxia than brian edema and electrolyte abnormality.

In their defense, they did read about the mold on the internet (Root of All Evil ®).

A blog by an emergency physician who has turned to the dark side (i.e, law). He rates special mention not only because he comments in my blog, but because we graduated from the same ED residency, though a few years removed.

Swing around and check him out!

Doc Shazam, whom I link to and read routinely, is going to have back surgery soon. If you have a moment, you might swing over and wish her good luck and an uneventful recovery.

Update: she’s postop, and doing well!
