    Most snowglobes are just made of water, but some can contain ethylene glycol. Most of those usually don't contain enough ethylene glycol to cause damage, but keep the word "usually" in mind. A homemade snowglobe can contain concentrations of anything, which is what happened in this case.
    Ethylene glycol can cause a profound high anion gap metabolic acidosis, and we'll explain the science, chemistry and physiology behind that in this episode.

    I grew up surrounded by medical textbooks and listening to my dad's continuing education CDs, provided by Audio Digest. I wasn't cut out to follow in my parent's footsteps, but I never lost interest in the medical world. Aside from asking my dad for those Audio Digest disks, your channels are the single most valuable things for scratching that itch and renewing my love for the beauty of the human body. Your videos, be they about power lifting, life advice, or toxicology/anatomy have been such a wonderful thing for me over the last few years. I hope you have many happy years ahead of you, Doctor, and that you feel the joy and enthusiasm that I and so many others get when we see you've uploaded another banger.

    Every hospital needs someone who gets this stuff - a real life version of "House." If not, then they should have digital access to someone who knows these things, thereby having a consultant on hand when needed.

      @@SuperSmith Think about it: People who have to spend day to day in the hospital will have both a set of standard medical teachings and defaults ("don't chase zebras" "x is usually y" "patients who think they have y usually have z" etc. and can become cynical to the same things due to peer influence. (Think people from x neighboorhood are druggies? Someone not working at that hospital, in that town has never heard of the place. The guy in charge that everyone wants to impress doesn't like x medication, or y people, or z diagnosis, people will automatically tend to go the same way, (90%) or the exact opposite (10%). People are always molded by their peers and by their sociological environment. It's simple human nature. We develop blind spots and assumptions. And if a certain group of people are missing a diagnosis, it likely falls into one of those blindspots.

      Lana Harlow the reason is because it takes 12 years total to be a doctor- 4 for premed, 4 for medical school and usually 4 years for residency (sometimes seven). They stop hiring doctors with little experience shortly after 40, and stop putting contracted doctors down for so many hours at ER's shortly after they're 55. If you're 60 and own your own private practice, they expect several decades of experience, not for you to come right out of medical school. Sure, Robert can go to school and waste hundreds of thousands of dollars to become a doctor to only never be able to pay it back due to how competitive and strenuous the job is because he'll be 57 by the time he'll actually be able to practice medicine.

    I've always been a fan of your content but I have a newfound appreciation for them [the vids] now that I'm delving into the realm of chemistry. There's a lot of shit I have trouble remembering and I realized that when I have something to actually apply that concept to-bam, I got it! that shit sticks, you know? :)) so lol, I literally use your content as study material as weird or corny as that may sound. I've realized that teaching/educating others is truly a fucking SKILL and after consuming countless lectures where it seems as though the speaker is more focused on putting material out there for their peers instead of the STUDENTS they're actually talking to..well, it just really put that into perspective for me! I think your 'audience' is something you really keep in mind judging from the format of your material, and I'm absolutely grateful for that! Thanks again, and please keep up with the great production! You're out here killin' it, my dude..entertaining aand educating:') All the best, EC

    I always wondered what the anion gap was. I went through kidney failure and was on dialysis for a year before I got a kidney transplant. I always liked to look up and learn what the different blood tests meant and I always had a high anion gap. Now I know the chemistry of why I had metabolic acidosis. Really interesting thank you!

      Well yes and no. If you take an individual oxalate molecule, it would bind to one calcium, but a crystal is of course a microscopic megastructure where the kations and anions are strictly organized in a grid, therefore distributing the charges not just between two counterparts, but every surrounding particles.

      Technically, every MD should know that, at least in Poland, where I study. We have biochemistry for 2 semesters and I'm also pretty sure, that these mechanisms are mentioned on patophysiology. However, after talking to many doctors while on my clinical activities I have realised, that not many MDs remember this kind of stuff - at best, they know cause and consequence of certain processes, like for example glycole ingestion, but most of them think, that knowing the pathway that leads to the consequence is unnecessary. And without repetition, there's no way to remember something that you learned on second year of med school.

  • @cassiel6217

    About oxalate, there's ongoing debate about whether to eat oxalate rich food (like spinach) with calcium rich food (cheese/ tofu). Some say that the two when eaten together accelerates the body's excretion of the calcium-oxalate salt, while some say that this combination accelerates the formation of kidney stones. What's your opinion on this?

(stolen copy fluid) We had them locked in cells and were giving them double shots of vodka every half hour, even if we had to wake them up, to help their bodies to eliminate the methanol. At first it was a big party, here's the prison giving them vodka. About two hours later, the whole medical unit smells like puke and the only prisoners who weren't refusing to drink more were the old heads who knew better. They talked most of the others to keep drinking. Of the 15 we had transferred to us, two went blind. All of them lived.
