one thing still throwing me for a loop is the "constant trickling bloody discharge from the vagina" being a manifestation of an OB emergency vs. the patient having Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.
And the patient having subcutaneuos emphysema in the mons pubis area.
I believe there are only a few pathologies that can cause this. one being blunt trauma, the other being a bacterial cause.
Clostridium perfringens could of caused the patient to have subcutaneous emphysema near the mons pubis.
but could that cause DIC?
And I still haven't seen how the patient could have gotten Clostridium welchii....
it has been isolated and found to culture near the perineum right?
