I will never see that name the same way again. I will now always think of a horrible Asian accent trying to say "code blue".

One wouldn't think so.

She was hanging in there though. They gave 3 amps of bicarb and a **** ton of insulin right away.

And yes **** ton is a legit measurement.
 
...and what should one worry about when giving a metric ****ton of insulin to a pt in dka/hhs?

Oh, oh, pick me! Hypokalemia perhaps? Really, electrolyte management in general. Sounds like a bit of fun ICU work for someone.
 
last month on my OB rotation we had a 15y/o come in, in preterm labor, with glucose >900. No one wnated anything to do with it, endocrine consult bounced to ICU, ICU bounced to endocrine. turned out to be a favorable outcome (as far as L&D is concerned).
