Uh the fact that lifted up instead of down However, helps at least it decompresses it rather than compresses it. Uh, >> wait a minute. Say that again. >> It's mostly opened up the suture line. >> So, he's decompressed his head. So, that's good. >> Yes. At least it'll >> done your job instead of an expansion. >> Done your job, has it? >> Right. >> What did they say that name? >> A Anderson. >> Anderson. >> Anderson. understand right Dr. Morgan. Uh where was the grandparents? >> Grandparents, right? >> Sand, you said. >> Yes, sir. It was a real real sandy place. That's what he was doing. He was playing in the sand. >> Yeah. Awful lucky, wasn't it? >> Yes, sir. I I thank God for what we got right now. I do. >> Well, we'll be uh picking him up in a bit. You definitely think he's going to be all right, doctor. >> I know you're no Jesus Christ. I mean, I want your honest, downright opinion. >> Well, I think he's very good right now, Mr. Anderson. Yes. I think considering the injury he's had, he's very lucky that uh he didn't squash his whole brain to be truthful with you. um exactly what the course will take is a little hard for me to predict, but 2 hours after the injury to be this much awake, I would say is a very >> positive sign, but he's going to take some awful close watching and uh I would be telling you wrong if I told you that he was going to be fine. I think >> I don't want I don't want you to tell me wrong. We want honest your honest opinion. Well, I think he's a very sick young fella and I think he's sitting on a powder keg. >> We do want the very best. >> Well, you've made no alter. >> That part of it, of course, has nothing to do with it. And we've got a children's intensive care that's as good as there is in the south. >> We're right here. Right. >> Don't worry. We're not going to leave. We're not going to leave. I'll preach. Yes, sir. Maggie, tell them set up some blood on here. [music] [music] >> [music] [music] >> Is this the young lady? >> Yeah, that's Tammy. >> Come on back. Let me take a look. Honey, we go back here to the second room. All right. >> Okay. Right through that door, honey. and I'll be right there. In we go. And who is this with the car in his mouth? >> This one? >> Yeah. Right on in here, honey. >> Okay. Now, let's see. Why don't you have a seat on the stool and you hop up here? >> Case number 358081. >> Patient Tammy Parrot. >> How long have you noticed it? >> Well, I didn't notice that her pediatrician found it. >> I see. So, Dr. Garvey saw the lump, but you hadn't noticed anything? >> [clears throat] >> noticed it. >> Status: >> Normal, healthy 9-year-old girl referred to Dr. Morgan with unexplained lump in neck. >> It hurts. When did you first notice it? >> When I went to the doctor. >> Yeah, but how about before that? Did you notice it at all? It was just something that was there. Sort of like your nose. It was just there. Huh. I see. Now, can you hold your neck up and let me see your guzzle? Okay. Let's see. Now you show me where the lung is. >> Yeah, that's a pretty good size one, isn't it? >> Sore. Hurt one of my show, doesn't it? Yeah. Hurt a lot. >> Just a little. Just when you laugh. >> It hurts right there. Where? Huh? >> Right here. You got your finger. >> Right where this finger is. >> This one right here. >> Huh? Touch your finger. Touch your finger. It hurts. That finger >> where it was. Right when you had your hand right there. >> I can't see. >> Right in here. That's sore. >> All right. Now you swallow for me again. Hard to swallow somebody choking you, isn't it? Okay. Now, let me see under your arm. All right. This tickles. Considerable tickling goes on in this room. Okay. But Tammy and let me talk to your mom for just a second. Could we How about you? Do you want to go out with Tammy? >> Why don't you run out with Tammy and let me let me chat with them. Okay, we'll just be a second. Um I suppose the main questions I would have um M parent I there's no one in the family who has ever had any surgery of the head neck as far as you know. >> No there's not anyone >> no one has ever had any cancers in the family >> of this area. No thyroid neck throat so forth. That was not no one that you can think of off hand. >> And she has had no x-rays particularly of this area, especially when she was a baby. >> She's never had an X-ray. >> You haven't noticed that she's had any problems swallowing. Uh that her voice has changed a bit, for instance. >> Not any. >> Not any at all. She's just been perfectly healthy young as far as you can tell that they come up. Uhhuh. You know, it's funny, but the chances of something happening are very, very small. But if you're the one who's got it, it doesn't make a hill of beans how small it is. It's still it's still you. If you're the only man on top of the mountain while it's still you. So that's why I think we need to run it down to so you can have peace of mind and I can sleep at night. And if it should be something bad, we would get it early and we can go get it and get it fixed up. >> Okay. >> All right. You want [music] to get up front and lead the parade? Okay. >> Is it spelled T A M M Y or I t [music] M Y? >> Course of action at Metchildo Hospital. Then begin tests for possible malignant thyroid gland tumor. >> This Dr. Morgan is Dr. Garvey there. Let me talk at him, would you? Thank you. >> So that makes it almost a month and a half now that you've been watching. >> Yeah, boy. And that's a pretty good one. And it's tenderime change. It was not tender when I thought. >> Well, it's tender now. [music] I think we probably ought to check a little bit about her thyroid and then maybe take this thing out and make sure it's okay. >> Case number 358199. Patient Jack Farmer. >> Now, what's his name? >> Jack Farmer. >> Okay. What happened at the wreck? Uh the dune buggy flipped >> status >> 11year-old boy from the Alida home for children thrown from overturned dune buggy >> out. He was knocked unconscious for >> so he fell out knocked out everybody fell on him >> right >> chest hurt honey. >> No >> I'm going to push on it now. You tell me if it hurts. It hurt. Where does that hurt? >> Where abouts? >> Just right in here >> where I'm mashing. >> Just just a teeny tiny bit. Huh? Can you tell me that's sore? >> No. >> Huh? >> No. That is sore. >> Okay. Over here. >> No. >> You got your side skin a bit there, cousin. Huh? >> How about your legs? They all right. Toes in here. >> It is. >> Yeah, that's all right. Everything moves. It's your belly that hurts, does it? >> Yeah. You pumped it, didn't you, Rooster? Okay. Now, does that hurt? >> It hasn't been here. >> No. Where I'm poking? >> No. >> Doesn't hurt. >> No. >> That? >> No. >> Huh? >> No. >> That >> child has possible fractured pelvis. >> Huh? >> No. >> Possible ruptured urinary bladder. >> Sore as a boil, isn't it? >> Possible ruptured spleen. >> Now, you've [music] been peeing some red stuff, huh? >> Remember what happened to you, buddy? We used to go down in the hill on a doom bug and all a sudden it flipped over. >> Yeah. >> And then all I remember is when I woke up. >> I see. How many of you were there in the car? >> Six. >> Six in the dune. Buggy. Where were you? >> Up on the mountain. >> Out of out at light of home or up on another mountain? >> Five. >> Let me [music] feel your pulse, honey. All right. You hold on. Get a hold of my neck. Rooster. Now, wait a minute. Hold on. Where are your legs? Easy. I'll be real easy. Okay, up we go now. Get his IV, please. Get his IV. >> I got you, honey. Hang on. That a boy. Down we go now. Down you go. Easy dust. You okay? >> Huh? >> Yeah. >> Course of action. >> Stabilize with intravenous fluids. Can you lie on your back for me just a minute? >> Then begin X-ray studies. >> Not really. That's normal. >> Yeah. >> 5:25 p.m. >> I think he's got trauma to that. >> The X-rays confirm a fractured pelvis and bleeding due to a ruptured urinary bladder. >> Yeah, that's where his blood's coming from because of this fracture bit. So, >> must have sprung it over there and he's ruptured his bladder. >> He hurts in his shoulder, RD, which worries me. And he's got gross. I mean, he's got the smoky blood in his urine. And I think he's popped his spleen cuz he hurts in his shoulder. >> You ought to be able to see it through this big stomach bubble, but I don't. >> Yeah, I don't see it either. How about his broken rib? >> Pickle material in >> How about that broken rib right here? >> Right there. You didn't see that, did you? >> Yes, I did. Just >> You didn't either. You didn't see it. Damn your eyes. You missed it. [laughter] >> 5:47 p.m. >> Can you tell me if this hurts you? Right back here on this bone. [screaming] >> That side does. >> Dr. Morgan asked bone surgeon Dr. David Lincoln to stabilize the fractures. That hurts, too. Now, I'm going to move your hip very, very gently. Okay? I want you to tell me if it hurts to move it. >> Does that hurt you? >> No. Does that hurt you? >> No. >> Hold your big toe up. Hold it up there hard. Don't let me push it down. Up, boy. Now, try to push your knee out straight against my hand. Show me how strong you are. >> We can put a little pin through his Tibia and put him in skeleton traction. >> I look and then you do yours and then you do yours. >> That'll be fine. >> Huh? >> That sound all right? >> Mhm. >> Okay. It should not take long from my standpoint. [music] >> Okay. You get the pin in there for you. >> Keep the pressure on the leg so you can give me something to push. >> Okay. [music] Y'all can hand me that traction bail. They will put the child in 10 lbs of skeletal traction and we'll order a check x-ray in the morning. >> Okay. You'll order that. >> That's all taken care of. >> You'll do it. >> Yes, sir. >> Thank you. >> Okay. You got the CO2 on? >> Yes. >> Great. It's bubbling. Off we go. >> Okay. 6:05 p.m. To rule out the possibility of a life-threatening ruptured spleen, Dr. Morgan uses a specialized optical telescope to look directly into Jack Farmer's abdomen. >> Okay, now here we go to take a peek. Now's the gas on. The gas is on. >> Okay. All me you boy. >> Are you saying it >> to walk where no man has walked before? Where are you buddy? There it is. The probe is moving the fat away. And now I can see the spleen which is intact. So the spleen appears intact and there's no intraabdominal injury. Uh, I can see a lot of bleeding in and around the left kidney extending down around the bladder about tight pint and a half worth of blood along both the left and right gutters going down to the um bladder itself. So there is nothing intraabdominal that needs dealing with and his spleen is not ruptured. And out comes the air. >> 6:27 p.m. Dr. Morgan will ask urologist Dr. Randall Vanderbeek to repair the urinary bladder. >> There's a huge amount of bruising all around the pelvis, but the spleen is clean, liver's clean. There's some bruising in the meanty of the valve, but you got to clean back. >> [music] [music] >> Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] [music] HEY, [music] [music] [music] HEY, [music] >> [music] [music] >> Heat up here. [music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> Oh, I didn't say anything. >> I just danced all night. >> I know. >> I'll see you. >> I'll see you later, Lee. Thank you. John Morgan. [music] [music] >> [music] >> Heat. [music] Heat. >> [music] >> this uh it's separated 1 and 210 cm at the upper margin with slight elevation of this anterior fragment here. Some stellate type fracture running through the right frontal area. You can see them here and know they're on the right side. The left side looks clear. You know, he started out with a crit of 45 and his crit today is 20. So, he's put half his blood volume into that fracture. No, this huge, huge blood clot that he's got is picking up fluid and his face is swelling. It has extended over to include both his eyes to the extent that they're really almost impossible to get open. >> The Anderson baby has stabilized, but condition remains critical. >> You got to remember that the same thing that's happening around his eyes and outside is going on in his brain. He's began to talk a little. So while his brain probably looks like his eyes and his head, it seems to beginning to function certainly. What has he been saying? >> Mama, papey, and water, >> right? >> Ride and fries. What's French fries? >> What uh is this? What was his vocabulary before the accident? >> Same thing. Same thing. Fries. That's all we heard coming up here. >> So you'd say he's getting back to talking like he was. Goodbye. >> Mama and papa and cookie. >> Curtis Logan is out of shock and beginning recovery. >> Curtis, how you feeling? Kind of sore, aren't you, this morning? Do you remember how the accident happened? on my bike. I I took my brakes off your bike. >> Your brakes were broke. >> Yeah. >> Uh you riding your bike and the brakes were broke. And then what happened? >> I put my foot down. I was going real fast. >> You put your foot down. You were going real fast. Yeah. >> And I went out there in the road and that car hit me. >> It got away from me, huh? >> Yeah. >> Uh-huh. >> I took them off, but they broke. >> Oh, you took the brakes off cuz they broke. >> Yeah. >> I see. So, you were riding the bike without any brakes, huh? >> I got you. Okay, son. We'll get you some soda. >> Give me two big cups of it. >> What? >> Give me two big cups of >> Two big cups of what? >> Soda. >> Two big cups of Mountain Dew is what you want. Is that right? Well, good morning, Miss Tammy. You all right today? Huh? >> Yeah. >> This is Dr. Watts, and he wants to take a look at you and see what we've got. Okay. >> Okay. >> That'd be all right. >> Has it been tender or uncomfortable for you? >> It just hurts when you touch it. >> Okay. As long as nobody touches it, you're happy. Okay. Are you eating okay? >> Yeah. >> Larger than just even a big inflammatory. No, >> larger than >> I think. So about 3 cm. >> Yeah, it's pretty good size. >> Swallow for me. Okay. outside the thyroid and above it. >> No, the thyroid feels normal. Have you gained or lost any weight over the last month or so? >> I don't know. You >> haven't noticed any difference in the way your clothes fit you. >> Have you had your period yet, Tammy? And start. >> Okay. Have you felt like you've run any fever or been real sweaty? >> When it's real hot, I get so hot I can't stand. >> Mhm. Up until the last few days though, it hadn't been real hot. Have you felt sweaty some days when other people haven't been hot? >> Do you ever sweat enough at night to get your sheets all soaked? >> When I go to sleep at night, I sweat. >> Even in the winter? >> No. >> Uh-huh. >> Do you sweat enough to have to change your night gown or your bed clothes? Just a little sweaty. >> Yeah. >> Okay. A lot of people do that. I don't think you need to worry. Your thyroid gland sits right here and this lumps right beside it. Sometimes a little part of the thyroid can just be off uh unrelated to the rest of it. And there's a special test we can do. >> Scan of the thyroid. >> Yeah. >> And they can do the technesium scan. It's 20 minutes of her time and give us the answer. Okay. >> So, get scan and see what the lump is. All right. >> Bye-bye. probably. >> Well, what are your thoughts? >> Well, I'm not sure. >> It's awfully large and it's an unusual location for a lymph node. >> Yeah. >> Certainly a benign lymph node. So, if it's cold on scan, I think you'll take it out. >> But if it's not cold and it's normally functioning thyroid, you'd leave it be. Even though it's tender, that doesn't worry you at all. What's going to happen to it? >> Probably just stay the same. Just like the rest of her thyroid. >> Uhhuh. Even though the tenderness bothers her a bit, you'd leave it be. Huh? >> Well, as long as nobody pushes on it, she says it's not tender. >> Well, what if it's not thyroid and we've got a solitary lump that's sitting there and it's not a thyroid? >> Take it out. >> You take it out. It worries you that much, huh? Yeah. It kind of worries me too with no other mode. radiology. [music] Miss Favor, >> Dr. Morgan, could I speak to Dr. Steinfeld, please? >> Uh, just a moment. >> Thank you. >> Nelson Watts has seen her and he suggested a scan. And what uh have you got any thoughts on what else you can do to keep me out of mischief? >> [music] >> Are your plans to look at this thing eventually somewhere down the line? >> Well, I don't know. Nelson and I may come to a parting of the ways at that point. He would leave it if it's ectopic, but it really smarts when you mash on it and I'd be inclined. >> Well, you know, I'd probably take the thing out because it just is so uncomfortable for the kid. >> [music] >> A radioactive scan focuses on the suspicious [music] love back and forth across your neck. Just try not to move at all. You want someone to sit with you? Okay. You just be real still. She's going to sit right here with you. She takes about 15 minutes. [music] Heat. [music] [music] Heat. [music] >> [music] [music] >> She's moved just a tiny little bit as I put him put my things on. The mass is actually >> here. >> And this is skin. >> Yes, this is skin right underneath. I I believe that this is continuous with the thyroid. And I I'm I'm going to bet that it's part of thyroid rather than an extra thyroidal node or >> and it's cold >> and it's non-functioning. >> The hell it's got to come out, John. >> Sure. >> There ain't no way. >> There ain't no way you can leave that. >> This may well be a benign lesion, a benign adenoma perhaps with some hemorrhage in it. But it's basically in what I would consider to be a solid category, although there are some sonolucent areas. And if if it were in my neck, I think I'd want it removed and looked at. >> If it should turn out to be a malignant lesion, which is certainly a high possibility or a pretty good possibility, then we got to study on what to go from there in terms of radical neck or god knows what. >> All right. Thank you, John. >> My pleasure, Bill. Yeah, Teresa, I need to talk to Miss Parent alone about this lump point found in her neck and I'd prefer not to have Teresa or the child there, Tammy there. So, can you get one of the folks to go get her and take her in the playroom and leave the mama in the room alone and I'll be up in a minute and talk to her. All right. Thank you. I thought it better to let Tammy go while we talk. Um, what it shows is that first is that the thyroid gland itself is normal. It's okay. But connected to probably part of the thyroid gland uh an an elongated extension of the gland is this lump. um the lump is connected directly to it. So probably it's actually a part of the thyroid gland. Now it carries a certain risk of being a tumor to be truthful with you. Now the risk is not terribly high but maybe 20% something in that in that range. parent uh if it should be a tumor it's something that needs to be removed it's something that I think we are getting to early enough so that it is not spread to anywhere so forth it'll be a small incision and I'll take this out we'll look at it under the microscope see what we've got and go from there thanks now that's an awful lot I realize is there any questions anything. I just don't know what to say. I just I didn't think it was this serious. Really? I didn't. >> Well, [clears throat] that's kind of a hard answer, Miss Barrett. I uh it may turn out to be nothing very serious. I mean, like you it is a tumor. I mean, if you go in there and take it out, will she have any problems? I mean, >> uh, probably not. It's hard for me to answer a question like that unless I know what it is. But if it is a tumor, it is small, it is discreet, it is early, and we can get it out and it's going to be, you know, it's probably going to be fine. I think the chances of it being something that get her into serious trouble on down the way are really fairly small. But what we need to do is take it out, look at it under the microscope, see what it is, and then go from there. All right. I'll get back if there's any change, and I'll definitely let you know exactly when we're going to do things. >> [clears throat] >> Hello, >> Nelson. This is Bill Morgan. I I wanted to talk to you about that parent child. John feels that it is fairly intimately connected if not part of the right pole and [music] feels that there's a that it uh potent that it carries a very definite malignant potential. [music] Would you agree with that? >> Right. Exactly. >> You would. So you think it ought to come on out now. How about a neck? Should I do a full radical neck or should I should I just go ahead and um and pick the nodes? >> Yeah. >> Okay, just pick the notes. Okay, Nelson, thanks a lot. I'll get back. Bye now. Heat.
