Is it wrong that if I see a patient has more than 10 allergies I IMMEDIATELY assume she's (bc it's always a she) a psych case?

In 24 years I've never been wrong.

You'll never read this in a textbook but add it to your practice today and thank me later👍

That and a GI bleed. I wish docs could use “nurse confirmed via smell” for dx criteria. Would save us all a lotta time and hassle.

There is no way to describe it. Once you smell it, you know it.
