Dr Karl | an answer looking for a question

Nicole Bourdon: Boiled eggs. My mother taught me for boiled eggs is once it reaches a boil let them cook for about a minute or two, turn off the heat then immediately put a lid on for about 5 to 10 minutes then rinse with cold water for about a minute and the shell peels off easily.

Period nosebleeds, brains, simulations

Monday 27th July 5:35 am

Tracey: Hi Doctors :) Did anyone get back to you about the period nosebleeds? I’m only just catching up on episodes so I was listening to this one last night and immediately thought she was talking about a bleeding disorder named Von Willebrand Disorder/Disease, which I have. One of the symptoms is nosebleeds, my symptoms are worse during my period. Thought I would throw that out there so the lady can ask her GP for a blood test to check on her levels and then see a hematologist if anything pops up. Have a great week!
