There were very notable left upper extremity findings.

So he had swelling in the forearm, the compartment felt very firm, there was pain with passive stretch of the wrists and fingers, and diffused tenderness across the forearm.

He had a sluggish capillary refill, and the pulses were faint, but if you put a Doppler on, you could hear the pulses.

He had a loss of sensation in his median ulnar and radial nerve distribution.

His motor function was intact, but weak secondary to pain.

On his right lower extremity, where the procedure was a few weeks prior, it was a little bit firm, but it was like healing well.

The rest of the exam was unremarkable.

Before I give you more information, Mark, I would love to hear your impression, but I also would love to hear you comment on if somebody's taking aspirin and they fall, how commonly do they have bleeding?

And is that common or is that uncommon in your experience?

Awesome.

Great discussion, you all.

And I love teaching that, Mark, especially like not stopping anticoagulation just because of falls.

And you need to have like a really serious reason to stop an anticoagulant.

And if you ask patients, would you rather bleed or have a stroke?

Almost every single patient I've ever had prefers a bleed.

So I think if we want to follow what patients want, we should do that as well.

So I'll give you some more information.

So white count, 13.

Hemoglobin is 8, low.

The MCV is 97.
