(I saw the signs while changing his linens after he arrived from the ED.) Removed the impaction & his heart rate came right up. He was transferred to telemetry later that day and back to his nursing home in less than 48 hours. I sh*t you not! (See what I did there? Ha!)

It is not a separate charge/fee but bundled into E &M. Potentially coded if done under anesthesia.
As an ER doc have done plenty.

There are people who are more disgusted by sputum than stool. It’s fun to watch them gag when you suction somebody’s airway.

Seems like he would have gotten a fierce endocarditis if he didn’t exsanguinate first.
