Ouch!

I found this case study in my inbox today. Stay tuned for the answer! (and please hope for me that noone is this predicament ever walks into my office).

The Case of the Missing Shaving Blade! CME/CE
A 41-year-old cognitively impaired man who possibly ingested a shaving blade is presented to the ED. The patient has been living in a residence for the mentally impaired for the past 31 years, and he is dependent on his caregivers. At no point have the patient’s caregivers noticed the patient coughing or choking; however, they are still worried about the possibility that he might have ingested or aspirated the blade. The patient is not in any distress. A chest radiograph is taken. What is seen on the radiograph?

Any guesses?

Really cool feature from cnn.com where you can read/watch all of the presidential inauguration speeches in U.S. history. There’s also some interesting trivia- type info on each president. I can’t get over how eloquent the speeches were back in the day!
