Great question that incorporated a lot of good clues pointing to parotitis! I answered correctly but this still definitely reminded me of other associations I might not have otherwise remembered.
I believe that is why they are on Oxybutynin (anticholingeric so it also leads to decreased salivation, and one of Dirty's risk factors for parotitis).
The amylase likely wouldn’t be high in a hospital acquired infection. That combined with all of the risk factors makes parotitis the better answer choice.
Although this is hypothetical, Dirty may have framed the stem as such to reflect the patients’ preferred pronouns. It’s highly important to be cognizant of that in the real clinical setting.

Awesome video ! One question tho , why is the overactive bladder highlighted in orange ? Does it have any correlation to parotitis?

@@ReidEversthanks!
Thanks for posting this series!
@Dirty medicine
What sources would you recommend for the physiology.
Thank you!
Great question. Keep it up, Dirty!
Parotitis Amylase
I hate how vague these questions are
50/50 between Hospital infection and Parotitis 😢

Thanks Doc, for your invaluable service.
@@DirtyMedicine Sir do you have a website where you share notes
whats with the grammar in this question? I thought there were two patients
‘They’ is a gender neutral pronoun. It can refer to any gender
