Gut Feeling

Revision as of 20:51, 10 October 2018 by Tooniee (Message Wall | contribs) (→‎Episode Stills)
Edit

“ In the early days of medicine, surgical students would perfect their sewing techniques on tree branches. Because when looking at an exposed bone in an amputation, human instinct is to recoil, not cut. We needed students to get out of the habit of listening to instinct. A lot of our training is breaking instinct, developing new habits. Don't react to bad news in front of patients. Don't show fear when faced with uncertainty. When you're looking at that exposed bone, cut. So the trick is trying to stay human when we’ve shut down all those gut feelings, all those messy instincts. So what about those times when there is no road map? Should we go with our gut then? If instinct is all we have, it's not always a bad thing. It can bring us wonderful places, joyful places. And it can also serve an important service, 'cause our gut is usually what warns us when trouble lies ahead. ”

Gut Feeling is the third episode of the fifteenth season and the 320th overall episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Medical Notes

Arthur Krug

  • Diagnosis:
    • Facial contusions
  • Treatment:

Arthur was injured when a block of wood flew at him after a teacher collapsed and pushed a student into a table saw. None of the bones in his face were broken, so he was discharged.

Dave Buckley

  • Diagnosis:
    • Traumatic amputation
    • Auto-brewery syndrome
  • Treatment:
    • Amputation

Dave was injured when he collapsed at work and pushed a student into a table saw. Two of his fingers were partially amputated by the saw. His labs showed a very high blood alcohol level. His fingers were damaged beyond repair, so Link took him into surgery to remove them. After his surgery, his blood alcohol level was high again. That led Richard to diagnose him with auto-brewery syndrome, meaning sugar in his body was turned into alcohol.

Kevin Gailis

  • Diagnosis:
    • Impaled saw
    • Hematoma
  • Treatment:
    • Surgical extraction

Kevin was brought in with a table saw impaled in his chest after his teacher collapsed while helping him guide wood into the saw. The blade was deep in his chest, so Maggie wanted a CT Angio before surgery. Despite this, Owen took him directly to surgery. In surgery, they removed the saw, but there was no blood flow to his arm. They worked to restore blood flow and were able to save his arm. He was later stable in the PACU.

Cece Colvin

  • Diagnosis:
    • Kidney failure
    • Peritonitis
  • Treatment:
    • Peritoneal dialysis
    • Translumbar catheter

Cece was receiving her eighth day of dialysis. She developed peritonitis, which meant they couldn't use that to do dialysis anymore and needed to find another way to get access. Meredith later had the idea to get access from the back with a translumbar catheter.

Tad

  • Diagnosis:
    • Posterior nose bleed
  • Treatment:
    • Blood transfusion

Tad came into the ER with a nosebleed. Vik told him to hold pressure and said he'd come back to pack it. Vik went back five hours later and Ted started coughing up blood. Koracick stepped in to help, but quickly learn Vik hadn't done an exam or ordered labs. He criked Tad and put in an IO line, but they were unable to get enough access to transfuse effectively, so he was pronounced dead at 17:57.
