Energy balance vs carbohydrate insulin model of obesity – Part 1 – Diet & Health Today

Introduction A perspective paper has just been published with many familiar names on the author list: David Ludwig, Arne Astrup, Ronald Krauss, Gary Taubes, Jeff Volek and Eric Westman to name those you may well have heard of (Ref 3). Walter Willett is also one of the authors, which was interesting since most of the authors would be viewed as low-carb diet proponents and Willet would be seen as a…

Title: You Know I Would Die Here Without You

Ship: Mike x Robert Chase

Words: 2.6k

Description: A patient has a psychotic break and stabs Chase. (Season 8, Episode 11)

Warnings: death mention, surgery mention

It should’ve been them in the room, not Adams. They could’ve stopped this. Or taken the knife instead. Instead of helping Adams had just stood there helplessly watching as blood seeped through their husband’s shirt and he fell to the floor. She had set off the patient’s paranoia, causing him to stab Chase. It was her fault.

No it wasn’t.

No matter how Mike felt about her, Adams couldn’t have stopped that blade from entering Chase’s heart. Mike couldn’t have either. No one could have.

Except for the patient who plunged it into his skin. It was his fault. He had done the deed.

No. He wasn’t aware of what he was doing. It was an illness induced psychotic break. He hadn’t intended to stab Chase. He was a high school Chemistry teacher, not an murderer.

They could easily blame House. It was House’s department, he chose the cases. He was in charge of what his fellows did, of how things were done. It could easily be House’s fault.

But it wasn’t. Mike could barely entertain the possibility. Everyone wanted it to be House because he was an asshole, because he was an addict. There were things that were his fault, for those exact reasons but this wasn’t one of them.

When Mike entered the room to give their testimony, Walter Colfield, the man in charge of the hearing, wanted it to be House’s fault.

“You are Dr. Chase’s wife?” he asked.

“Spouse,” Mike corrected.

“Tell me what happened.”

“32 year old Chemistry teacher came in after a collapse and was paralyzed in all four limbs,” Mike said. “Taub thought it was a liver problem, Park thought Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. Both were way off. Chase noticed the patient’s potassium was odd, and told House. He went with thyrotoxic paralysis.”

“And what was your initial theory?”

“I thought MS.”

“Rapidly progressing?”

“Yes,” Mike affirmed. “When House shot it down, we went with his theory.”

Colfield flipped through the file in front of him. “Would you mind explaining the orange smudges on the patient file?”

Mike asked irritably, “What smudges? What does this have to do with my husband getting stabbed?”

“Nothing but it could also be something.”

“The smudges…” Mike trailed off. Mike almost laughed. “House put dye in my shampoo, hoping to prank me. Chase ended up using it. We prank each other a lot, though it’s mostly House. It’s stupid.”

“What happened after the steroids?”

“The patient woke up. It seemed like House was right.”

“Then?”

“Adams and Taub checked on the patient when he woke up,” Mike said. “A couple of his students brought flowers. They mentioned an explosion.”

“Why wasn’t this in the file previously?”

Mike shrugged. “Taub did the history.”

“So you think Taub missed something?”

“No,” Mike said. “I just said that he did the patient history. So, if something were missing, I wouldn’t know.”

“What happened then?”

“The patient started coughing up blood. I had to be called in to help. Once we got him stable again, all three of us watched the video of the explosion that one of his students recorded.”

“All three of us?”

“Taub, Adams, and myself,” Mike clarified. “A student had intentionally caused the explosion to make a viral video by adding too much hydrochloric acid. This led to Adams thinking the patient had burned his lungs, causing the blood. Taub didn’t think this explained the paralysis but Park said his head hit the wall, explaining everything.”

“What did you think?”

“I thought Park’s theory was shaky.”

“Then?”

Mike paled. “Uhh. It involved a stink bomb and a gas mask.”

“Excuse me?”

“Chase got back at House by putting a stink bomb in his office. My idea. It was revenge for the hair. It backfired. He used it to push us into giving him a treatment for burned lungs. That worked. Taub suggested aerosolized Heparin. It’s experimental but it was better than our other options.”

“You don’t think House’s actions were reckless and manipulative?”

“Manipulative, yes. Reckless? No. House knew what he was doing.”

“This is your husband we’re talking about, Dr. Chase.”

He said it as if they weren’t aware, as if this stupid hearing wasn’t keeping them from his bed side. They should be next to their husband, holding his hand, not answering questions for a House blame game.

Mike said, anger rising, “With all due respect Dr. Colfield, if you have already decided this is House’s fault, let me leave. You’re right, this is my husband we’re talking about. I should be with him instead of sitting here while you try to put words in my mouth. I don’t think this was House’s fault, and me being Chase’s spouse doesn’t change that.”

“I haven’t decided anything yet,” Colfield said calmly. “Answer my questions.”

Mike leaned back in their chair. “Fine. Continue.”

“There is a discharge order but the patient never left, why?”

“House decided to give the patient a bath, on the off chance there was still chemical residue on him. Park and I oversaw it while a nurse did the bath. There was something under his arm, I think I noticed it first. The patient was irritated, and wanted to leave. I had to be sure.”

“And?”

“The rash was nothing of note. But we had another problem, the patient was completely on edge.”

“Eventually when we talked to the rest of the team, I mentioned the rash, and Adams thought it was invasive strep. I agreed with her. Park was focused on the brain, and Taub was thinking Wegener’s.”

“What did House do?”

“He suggested steroids. It would cure Wegener’s, cause a fever if he had a brain issue, and cause all-out psychosis if it was invasive strep.”

“So it was possible to see what happened to your husband coming?”

Mike shook their head. “No. At the time, we thought we would have a handle on whatever outcome occurred, since we knew what each was.”

“Then?”

“Chase agreed with Adams and I that it was strep. I didn’t know until Adams told me later. He didn’t tell me he was going to biopsy the rash. I would’ve told him not to.”

“Do you think that’s why he didn’t tell you?”

Mike nodded. “Yes.”

Colfield looked back at the file and asked, “Do you think what happened to Chase was Chase’s fault?”

“Please don’t ask me that.”

“I need an answer.”

“I wasn’t there! I don’t know!” Mike shouted, tears welling up in their eyes. “Ask Adams.”

“I think we’re done here.”

Mike took their bag and hurried out of the room. They were the last one he spoke to before he had to talk to Chase himself.

Mike remembered Adams calling the Code Gray and Taub rushing into Room 209 to help. They raced after him to see the commotion and help if necessary. It was hard to see in with all of the paramedics standing around the patient trying to restrain and sedate him.

Mike hadn’t gotten the chance to enter the room when Adams and Taub watched Chase fall to the ground.

They stopped in their tracks a foot away from the door and yelled out Chase’s name as he collapsed.

Taub started shouting orders but the world went silent in Mike’s head. None of it felt real. No one would let them near their husband, even as they put him on the gurney and wheeled him away.

Adams was hovering over him on the gurney as he lay unconscious. She was the reason he was still alive. No matter how often they disagreed, Mike owed Adams a debt they could never repay.

They waited outside while the surgery was performed. It was agony. There was no telling whether Chase was alive or dead or how he would be changed if he survived. They sat on the floor against the wall and sobbed.

They never believed in a god but in that moment Mike pleaded to any god or life force that could be listening. Take anything away from me, but please, please, don’t take Robert. He’s everything. He’s all I have.

It took hours. No one was there to comfort them, or to talk. Park, Taub, and Adams were in the surgery room. Mike wanted to be there too but they knew they shouldn’t be. It wasn’t about ethics, ethically none of them should be in there. Mike wasn’t a surgeon, for one, and for two, they were a broken down mess. There was nothing they could do for Chase in there.

When he was finally out of surgery, Mike, Adams, Park, and Taub all sat at his bedside. Adams barely looked like a doctor, her lab coat was gone and her name tag was nowhere to be seen. She was a distraught friend in business casual. Taub and Park were still in their scrubs from the surgery. Mike was the only one still in a lab coat.

Mike had cried out all of their tears. There was nothing left to do but sit in silence.

House came in later, still trying to do a differential. Mike wanted to yell at him, to get him to stop. Their husband was lying unconscious. There was still no certainty he’d live. They couldn’t. This was how House was. Yelling would be futile, and Mike didn’t have the energy for it. They sat silently as he tried to question the other fellows. None of them were in the mood for differentials either.

“Shut up!” Adams shouted as House tried to pressure them all into diagnosing the patient.

“Could you guys keep it down?” Chase said suddenly.

Mike’s heart leapt out of its chest. Chase was alive. He was okay.

They slowly moved over to him, as Taub said, “You made it, bud.”

Adams told him where he was and what was happening. Mike still couldn’t form words.

“Did I have an epidural?” he asked them.

“No,” Taub said carefully.

Mike’s heart pounded in their chest. No. He was fine. He was talking. He was going to be okay.

“Because I can’t feel my legs,” Chase said.

Mike grabbed onto his hospital bed so that they wouldn’t fall to the floor.

The room went dead silent.

House double checked what Chase said.

“I just said I don’t feel anything,” Chase said. “Objectivity, House.”

Chase started a differential but this time for himself.

“Post traumatic syringomyelia,” Chase suggested. His explanation was solid but it would mean the damage would be permanent. Mike prayed it wouldn’t be.

Everyone agreed, except House. He thought it was a clot in a radicular artery.

If it was, an embolectomy would solve everything.

Chase was rushed into surgery again. Mike still didn’t feel okay enough to go in.

Mike couldn’t find the words to say until the team had left and visiting hours were over.

“You’re an idiot,” they said.

“I almost die and that’s the first thing you say to me?” Chase asked, without a hint of anger.

Mike took his hand. “You went into a room with a patient who was a moment away from a psychotic break with a scalpel. You are a complete idiot.”

Mike started to cry again. “I’m so glad you aren’t dead. You scared me. I thought I’d never see you again.”

“I’m so sorry,” he said. “I didn’t mean to scare you. I didn’t think this would happen.”

“I know,” Mike said. “I’m not blaming you. I was just so worried.”

“Thanks for caring about me.”

Mike laughed. “I’ll care about you even after we’re ghosts, and that’s a promise.”

Chase managed a smile.

Mike stayed with him until the disciplinary hearing was called. They didn’t want to go, even when their testimony needed to be heard. Their place was by their husband’s bedside.

Still they went.

This all led them to this moment. They waited outside the PACU while Colfield questioned Chase. Mike thought it was all so stupid. This disciplinary hearing could wait. He didn’t need to talk to Chase right now. He didn’t need to talk to Chase until everything was okay again.

There was nothing they could do about it, so they waited.

When Colfield left the room, Mike rushed in.

“What happened?” Mike asked.

“I can move my toes.”

Mike was so happy that they hurriedly bent down and gave him a kiss on the forehead. “That’s great.”

“I might never walk again,” he said.

Mike sighed. “You know what? I don’t care. You’re here with me. I don’t care.”

They squeezed his hand.

“Colfield is dead set on blaming House,” Chase said.

“I know. He’s an asshole if you ask me.”

“I want to blame House,” Chase said. “It would make everything easier.”

“I know.”

Everyone, except Chase, was called in to hear Colfield’s decision. Mike only went after Chase told them they could.

“This case is a fiasco,” Colfield said. “I didn’t sleep last night.”

Colfield admitted to House’s brilliance but refused to accept his reckless behavior. It sounded like he was going to get House suspended.

Until the patient’s wife walked in.

House was right. The husband had a tumor in his lymph nodes that the doctors at Princeton General were now removing.

“He saved my husband’s life,” she said.

And endangered mine, Mike thought, though they didn’t mean it.

Nobody’s fault.

The case was decided to be nobody’s fault. Despite Colfield’s want to blame House, that was his verdict. Mike wasn’t sure whether to be relieved or not.

Just as everyone started to leave the room, House broke the silence by saying, “Coward.”

He challenged Colfield, who was clearly going to have House sent back to prison. It didn’t matter, he asserted, if the patient lived, because it didn’t change whether he had done the right thing or not.

He made a dramatic exit and left everyone in shock.

Mike returned to Chase’s bedside and told him what happened.

They didn’t see House again until he visited them and Chase in physical therapy.

It was hard to watch as the nurse assisted him across the distance of less than a yard, and Chase struggled in pain with every step. Mike needed to be there though, they needed to support their husband in his recovery, no matter how much it hurt them.

“How did you get the firing wire into the vicodin bottle without me noticing?” House asked.

“House, if that’s what you’re here about-” Mike began.

“That’s not what he’s here about,” Chase said. “And anyway, I had Mike do it. You don’t pay as much attention to them.”

After a moment of silence, he said, “Colfield decided that you being stabbed was nobody’s fault. He’s wrong. I’m sorry.”

“Anything else?” Chase asked. “I’m kind of busy.”

“Chase,” Mike said quietly under their breath.

“No, nothing else,” House replied, and left.

“You don’t actually blame him,” Mike said.

“No,” Chase said as he struggled to move forward. “But I’m tired of his bullshit.”

“He’s House,” Mike said. “I don’t think he’ll change.”

“No one really changes.”

“You have,” Mike said. “You’re more confident now, more sure of your ideas. You respect House but you don’t need to kiss up to him. And…”

“And?”

“And even after all of this, I like to think you’re happier, and I’m the reason why.”

“I am and you are,” he said. “I’m happy I don’t have to do this alone.”

“I love you,” Mike said. “And I’ll be here for you, whatever you need.”

“I love you too, Mike.”

Chase continued to struggle to walk but Mike felt better about it now. Even if he never got full function in his legs again, they would be there for him to lean on and to love.

Das Ende einer Ära

2018.355

Ich weiß, dass ich auf diesem Blog eigentlich nur über mein Leben als Autor und über einige Themen der IT schreibe. Jedoch habe ich mir den heutigen Tag als Anlass genommen, aus der Reihe über etwas Anderes zu berichten.

Denn heute, am 21.12.2018 (oder dem 355. Tag desselben Jahres) wurde das letzte Steinkohlebergwerk Deutschlands für immer geschlossen. Aber, fragt ihr euch sicher, was hat dieser Schreiber, der aus der IT-Welt kommt, damit zu tun? Nun, das Thema ist mir sehr wichtig, da ich jemanden kenne, der ganze 33 Jahre auf dem „Pütt“ (d. h. unter Tage) gearbeitet hat.

Beinahe 200 Jahre lang wurde bei uns in Deutschland der Untertagebau betrieben. Viele Millionen Tonnen Steinkohle wurden in dieser Zeit gefördert. Doch heute wurde die Ära für immer beendet. Denn Deutschland kann (oder will) sich die eigene Steinkohle nicht mehr leisten. Importe des „schwarzen Goldes“ sind wesentlich billiger, als die Steinkohle aus den deutschen Revieren.

Besonders in Nordrhein-Westfalen und Rheinland-Pfalz wurde sehr viel Steinkohle abgebaut. Das Ruhrgebiet, das besonders von der Industrie geprägt ist, ist durch diesen Stoff ein wichtiger Bestandteil im Leben vieler Menschen geworden. Die Steinkohle löste einen Weltkrieg aus, brachte aber auch Frieden. Zur Feier des heutigen Tages wurde dem derzeitigen Bundespräsidenten, Herrn Frank-Walter Steinmeier, das letzte Stück Steinkohle als Symbol überreicht. So. Aber jetzt noch ein wenig zur Steinkohle und ihrem Abbau selbst.

Wie entstand die Steinkohle?

Vor ca. 320 Millionen Jahren, also noch vor den ersten Dinosauriern, starben Pflanzen ab und wurden von Sedimentschichten luftdicht eingeschlossen. Unter enormem Druck und großer Hitze entstand aus diesen Torfschichten zunächst Braun-, später Steinkohle. Allerdings dauerte der gesamte Vorgang mehrere Millionen Jahre.

Fazit: die Steinkohle besteht aus verbrannten Pflanzenresten, die sehr stark komprimiert wurden. Aber auch gestorbene Tiere leisteten ihren Beitrag zur Entstehung der Steinkohle.

Wie wurde die Steinkohle abgebaut?

Die Antwort auf diese Frage würde sicherlich mehrere Fachbücher ausfüllen, was den Rahmen dieses Beitrages bei weitem sprengen würde. Deswegen beschränke ich mich nur auf einige Methoden, inklusive der historischen.

In der Anfangszeit wurde die Steinkohle unter größter körperlicher Anstrengung mit Spitzhacken und ähnlichen Werkzeugen aus dem Gestein geschlagen. Da viele Vorkommen, die sogenannten Flöze, bis zu 1.000 Meter weit unter der Erde liegen, war es dementsprechend ein warmer Arbeitsplatz. Zu jener Zeit wurde die abgebaute Kohle von Pferden bis an die Erdoberfläche transportiert.

Später wurden die Spitzhacken durch elektrisch betriebene, handliche Maschinen ersetzt, die zudem sehr laut waren. Einem Presslufthammer gleich, wurde damit dann die Kohle abgebaut. Trotz des vorgeschriebenen Gehörschutzes, konnten die Bergleute dennoch schwerhörig, im schlimmsten Fall sogar taub werden, wenn sie täglich damit arbeiteten.

Irgendwann wurden bessere Methoden für den Abbau entwickelt. Zu den neueren zählen der riesige (22 Meter Länge) Walzenschrämlader und der kleinere Kohlenhobel. Erstere Maschine fraß sich mit mehreren Tonnen durch den Fels, wohingegen der Kohlenhobel eher dort eingesetzt wurde, wo der Walzenschrämlader nicht eingesetzt werden konnte.

Und jetzt?

Einige ehemalige Steinkohlebergwerke, etwa das in Bochum, wurden nach ihrer Schließung in Museen umgewandelt. Dort finden auch öffentliche Führungen statt, bei denen die Besucher mehr über den Energieträger Steinkohle erfahren können.

Eine andere Zeche wird im Jahre 2020 auf etwas andere Art verwendet: auf dem Gelände vom einstigen Bergwerk West (ehemals Friedrich Heinrich) in der linksniederrheinischen Stadt Kamp-Lintfort (Kreis Wesel) findet dann die Landesgartenschau statt.

Also, in diesem Sinne. Oder wie die Kumpels auf den Zechen immer sagten:

Glückauf!
