I was at my great aunt’s 90th birthday party on Tuesday and was chatting with a neighbor. He mentioned that after being treated for kidney stones he couldn’t speak for 6 months.
My face screwed up as I tried to figure out what the hell he was talking about. His next sentence explained everything.
What happened?
Other hints: his stone were conventional calcium oxalate stones, and he had recurrent stones.
I’ll leave the answer later today or tomorrow.
Complication of parathyroidectomy?
he got treated with demerol
Recurrent nerve injury after parathyroidectomy because of primary hyperparathyroidism?
recurrent laryngeal nerve is one of the common complication of parathyroidectomy. I guess thats it!

One of my attendings says that there are urologists who take out parathyroids. That's kinda freaky.
