One of my attendings and I are talking about start a rural medicine podcast. We've been seeing interesting cases and show that you don't only get these in teaching hospitals.
A couple we would talk about
Fungal esophagitis (candida glabrata with reduced susceptibility to fluconazole) in an elderly female neg for HIV or other reasons to be immuno compromised.
A patient with factitious disorder (600 diagnosis in problem list with doctor shopping) who actually had acute mesenteric panniculitis on admission.
A patient s/p ex lap with extensive adhesions and viscous perf done for recurrent SBOs requiring periop blood transfusions and plts. Has electrolyte abnormalities post-OP due to a string of things.
It's been fun! And I've been primary on these patients. None of them have died yet 😬
