Just a reminder that this isn’t my experience, I merely posted this here as it is fantastic info from a fellow MD halfway across the world to me. This is NOT my personal

# I had a nightmarish experience at Dell Children’s that has shaken me to my core and seriously damaged my trust in the medical system.  Our four month old daughter Alice is a deeply wanted IVF baby.

Just got off a 7 day 12 hour back to back shift of being on a hospital's COVID service. I wanted to share some thoughts and ideas regarding patient care and management. My hospital has around 100 COVID patients and around 25 ICU beds. We initially had around 15 vents, but this number was increased

Hello friends! A few months ago, I wrote [this ](https://www.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/fslute/what_ive_learned_about_covid_patients_from/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app) post on here, and it garnered more attention than I ever could have imagined, and many said it was helpful!! So I wan

I’ve been resistant to posting our story on this page because I wasn’t sure how it would pan out. In many ways, I still don’t know how it will pan out, but I do know that 1) we are a far cry from where we were a week ago, and 2) as the despair starts to settle deep into our collective psyche, it mig

I’m a new pharmacist, recently came across a situation and was wondering how other pharmacists would handle it. So a kid was prescribed H.pylori medication (Amoxicillin, clarithromycin and Omeprazole) by their primary. The next day they were in an urgent care, diagnosed with otitis media and prescri

He did not have a lot of money so I said to him I'd give him his antibiotics at the most affordable price I could but he would have to get the generic. The prescr

I (F28) went to my own local doctor because of a lump near my armpit and she told me I had an infected ingrown hair. She prescribed me Dicloxacillin (capsules) but I had a really bad reaction to it (swollen eyelids, bad rashes on the legs) so I called the emergency doctors today. I live in Denmark s

Yesterday, my mother took me (17F) to the doctor's office for my yearly checkup. There, she told my PCP that I tend to have bad breath, and my mother suspects that I have too much acid in my stomach. My doctor then suspected I have H. pylori bacteria (told me that people of Asian descent were more l
