Haha, I foresee a future where I'm retiring early due to my highly successful "hecatic encephalopathy" throw pillows sold on Etsy

Is this called hecatic encephalopathy?

When your patient develops hepatic encephalopathy, give them Lactulose. It improves quality of life. And quantity!!!

But if the HE comes back rapidly, consider looking for and closing portosystemic shunts

Just ask this cat

Yes, but still plenty of work to do in this area!
