    If I had a head accident, which resulted in a nasty cut, swelling and bruising, and a 2 week long headache, what is the most likely diagnosis?

    Ps - vision for reading has become progressively worse since too

    It's probably a concussion. Slap a bandaid on it. You'll be fine soon.

    My arm fell off ...is this the result of a possible zombie infection?

    I believe we have found patient Zero.....

    The cut is fully healed, it was 6-8 weeks ago and my vision is still screwed :D

    Most likely a subdural hematoma in the area of the injury resulting in brain swelling that is affecting your vision. I've got a butter knife and some duct tape. I can fix it for you.

    I'm disappointed this didn't include a kiss to make it better. Don't worry @ManBehindTheMask I have a nurse's uniform and stethoscope. @Merrysailor5 permission to proceed, please.

    If you really are a nurse, you need to read your state's nurse practice act. You are in violation.

    as in most situations in life, it's good to ask: so what?

    Disclaimer: I am not an actual nurse. And none of the information I have provided is fact based or backed by any kind of evidence.

    Edited for further clarification: any situation even alluded to is purely fictional or based upon an episode Greys Anatomy.

    Just Curious.. ;)

    I fell down a flight of stairs a year and a half ago hurt my leg and hip badly and was on a cane for 9 mos. Many Drs and Orthopedic Drs and Spine Drs and never had any relief until lots of Prayers over me! Within two weeks was finished with the cane! Do Doctors and nurses approve of Spiritual healing?

    Also... Leg still discolored from the bruising, anything that can be done?

    As a nurse what’s your opinion on the amount of weight that can be safely lost each week?

    I'm not a nurse but common sense tells me get yourself checked out by a doctor.

    You forgot the most important part. before Amputation be sure to place a turnicate around the neck and tighten down to stop the flow of blood to the lower body.

    You could get a peg leg. Just watch out for knot holes in floors, and soft ground.

    Today I had one chicken breast with roasted red peppers and goat cheese. With a side of roasted broccoli.

    Maybe acid reflux or gas.

    If she could have consumed two chicken breasts, would she have doubled her displeasure and have pain under both?
