What are the craziest medical signs?

My favourite has always been uraemic frost.
Oh just remembered one which is a finals favourite & figured only exists in books until I saw it in St George's ED yrs ago: Lipaemia Retinalis.

Hypertriglyceridaemia causes vessels to look whiteish on fundoscopy. Pt already known to have FH but never had fundoscopy - new finding

Shall I eat these fancy hospital biscuits?

[science thread]
Important vote 🍪🍪🍪
The packet tells me that each biscuit has 300kJ = kilo joules
Or 72kcal = kilo calories, ie 72,000 calories

But the box says "72 calories per biscuit"

So what's that about?

You've probably all seen this epic meme. It got me thinking - why *IS* the human body asymmetrical? Why do almost all of us adopt the same asymmetry? [SCIENCE THREAD!]
An object is chiral if it is distinct from its mirror image, derived from Greek for hand as they are the archetypal chiral objects (ie L is not the same as R) 👈🏽👉🏽

Humans are obviously chiral. Hearts left, livers right, colons clockwise etc. We're not absolutely sure why.
Strictly speaking we're not chiral in morphological classification terms - we're pseudobilateral. Snails are chiral - their shells turn in one direction.

Spherical - volvox
Radial - sea anemone
Chiral - snail
Bilateral - planaria
Pseudobilateral - most vertebrates

One afternoon I got a DM from a white guy who said he likes what I do & I said "thanks", he asked where I was & I said Lagos.

"Hmm, so can we talk on WhatsApp?" He asked, I thought about it for a while

"Okay!"

I gave him my number.

#StoryTimeWithUche
Less than 5 minutes later I got a video call from a North American number, "video call?What's going on here?" I thought, "igba wo l'abere love t'an kiss?"

I declined the call and went back to what I was doing, this guy called again!

"Again?!"

"Ah ah!"

"This guy serious o!"
I finally picked and the first thing I saw was this guy with my ex girlfriend Lizzy, they were kissing each and laughing at me on video.

"Hello Uche!!" They screamed like 2 fools on live television, I didn't understand what was going on so I asked.

"What's going on here Lizzy?"

One day I got a DM from Donjazzy saying he loved my story, I almost fainted but I had to remain alive to go verify if it was the original Donjazzy, "it's him!" I said when I verified.

"Thank u🙏" I replied, "Let's meet up" he wrote.

I fainted!

It's Donjazzy Again IDJA

I woke up immediately & saw my DM still open, "it's actually real, Donjazzy DM'd me!" I screamed, I immediately replied to say I was available & he texted me where to meet him.

I closed my app, dropped my phone & went to have my bath. While at it I remembered my crush Kemi..
I had been 'toasting' her for 3 months now & I promised myself that once she says yes I'd breakup with Kiki, "Maybe I'll take a picture with Donjazzy & send to her so that she'll like me more" I thought.

I finished having my bath, dressed up, grabbed my stuff & headed out proud.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
