Have you checked your electrolytes lately?

Highlight of last night's clinical shift:

Patient comes into ER not feeling well for over 3 days. Fatigued, pale, diaphoretic.

EKG shows she is throwing crazy SVTs, heart rate 220.

Doctor: "You may have a problem with your electrolytes."

Patient: "Well... they have been flickering on and off all day."

Yes, that really happened.
