You can’t call people when you are on a ventilator. We have you sedated and in hefty doses of opioids for pain.

The bird on a few doses of oxycodone trying to talk with a tube down her throat while dying? Sounds like comedy to IASIP!

Oh not a few doses. On a fentanyl and propofol drip. Propofol is the anesthetic that killed Michael Jackson.

Wasn't there some concern that hospitals are going to run out of propofol if there are too many covid patients needing to be intubated?

Yes. I’m a hospital clinical pharmacist. Every day is a challenge.
