Article Discussion:
My patient today was hospitalized for Guillain-Barre syndrome. I had no clue what that was, so I looked into
it. When I found out it was a neuropathy that can progressively paralyze a person, I was intrigued. I was intrigued
because in her past medical history, I found that she was a Type 2, non-insulin dependent, diabetic. I was curious
as to if there was a link between her diabetes and Guillain-Barre syndrome. I found an article about a study done
on Guillain-Barre patients to try to determine the epidemiology of the disease. When Dr. Atler was trying to define
who was a fit subject for this study he was contemplating allowing diabetics into the study or not. He was
concerned because Guillain-Barre can cause neuropathy to occur quickly, over a few days, whereas diabetic
neuropathy is normally a slower process. However, he did find that neuropathies can occur quicker in diabetics
because they already are susceptible to the neuropathies. From his study, it seems that diabetes doesn't cause
the development of Guillain-Barre, but rather, can exacerbate the symptoms of Guillain-Barre because of their
increased susceptibility to neuropathy. Good article and write up.
Today's Summary:
Today, both my patients were discharged. Because of this I got to discontinue 3 IV's. My nurse was awesome and
showed me the whole discharge process. I got to help move one of them who was being discharged downstairs to
skilled nursing and helped the CNA get the other one into her son's car to go home. After that, I pretty much just
helped with whatever my nurse needed. Good
