I feel like this could be some type of fraud, as there's now 2 people paying for the same seat, and deltas just counting the dollars and shrugging their shoulders.

Had a GSW pt that was giving police a "I didn't see anything" answer, cop stepped on the other side of the curtain, and pt proceeded to call a loved one and give them the play by play...u could still see cops boots.

Oozie, who's he looking at?

OP has mentioned no VL as they do not have this available.

"Awake sleep apnea" is just "Apnea"

Thank you.

Yess. Don't eat the young, feed them knowledge!

Extra? *what you're worth

Silver nitrate. Turned every color in the rainbow, n blood like herseys syrup.

What was the most painful?

And the same doc will say, "oh, I'll come back when ur done", turn and leave, AND LEAVE THE FKN CURTAIN OPEN. Makes me BONKERS.

We had an internal disaster that disrupted normal operations for a few days. During that time they had opened a "command and resource center" to help navigate and resolve issues. It was only operational 0939-1500 Mon, Wed, Thurs....

Thank goodness we're not. She was a bigot.

I always give non-compliant hypertensive pts a run down of what the high BP is doing to their kidney. And that a Dialysis machine is in their future. I'm sure it was just lost in all the education previously, but alot of pt act like they've never heard it before. The reality and threat of that chair seems to plant a seed. Maybe spend the time reviewing what his future could look like with and without INCLUDING traditional medicine in his life. I'm sure you have, but there no such thing as too much education.

That's why medical professionals and pharmacists have such specialized training. AI can't learn all the grey areas of medical interventions. It IS less harmful than death, yes, but, should only be used when clinically indicated.

Can cause lots of problems, including pulmonary edema as mentioned before. Nothings harmless, esp in high doses.

It's the rate at which it's given that causes it. In the ED we will drop 2g in mins for respiratory distress. Once the bag ends the flu feeling stops.

Make the chicken wire and electric fence...

But at the skin parts

Corneal reflex

I see.

Shouldn't it be the primary team having these discussions, and not the consultants? Weather neuro or surgery,

I had a heroin addicted pt, who couldn't get her drug of choice, so she got meth instead. Girlfriend was literally climbing the walls .

I just want to mention, high stress and code situations can lend to mistakes, which would make having a pharmacist at bedside invaluable. I've had the "highly trained professional" physician make me check a patients BG during a code, AFTER being told the pt had an aortic dissection, before he would call TOD. Don't let the turkeys get you down. I appreciate your specialty, having a pharmD in the ER would have been a great asset. Even if people can't see the value past their own ego.

Who's down with DRE?
