He is fully vaccinated (including flu and COVID vaccines). He is currently taking a 5 day course of azithromycin (250 MG tablet) for the sinus infection and started the tamiflu today. How long should we keep him home to prevent him from spreading it to others? I have a benign brain tumor and am

Case 1) A physician prescribed his wife #180 plaquenil 200mg BID + #30 azithromycin 250 mg QD. Paying with GoodRx. (we didn’t fill it of course) One of my new tech typed it in, i caught it and called him asking for diagnosis code. He started out saying his wife has asthma and needed it for prophyla

Our pharmacy is being physically expanded right now and the ScriptPro machine we have was moved for the first time in who knows how long. There were about 60 vials/caps found underneath plus a dusty ahh Zpak that expired in 2010… Also these pics were taken by an overnight technician not me so shout

(34F, 5'5", non-smoker, USA) I feel terrible for even writing this, but it's been absolutely bothering me since I found out. I know someone that has told their husband they have cancer. But she's insisting it be kept a secret from everyone. Here's where I'm suspicious and maybe that's just my lack o

Hey everyone, So I work in a rural community pharmacy and a patient brought in a prescription for amoxi-clav for an ENT infection (otitis media, cough, sinus infection). I noticed that the amoxi-clav was severely under dosed and the doctor wrote to give 1/4 of what she’d need for her weight. Second

Amoxicillin and augmentin are all completely gone. Same with cefdinir. I have some azithromycin and penicillin and clindamycin left but we’re out of options. What are folks doing? Have we seen doctors trying any other antibiotics after having failed augmentin and cefdinir? Also just a shout out to a

Over the past six months, Trump has been making increasingly false, absurd, and dangerous claims - from saying the “only way” he’ll lose in November is in a rigged election to claiming his opponents illegally “spied” on his campaign. However, not only is he making these claims, the president and hi

Because of the situation on my floor, I have taken literally all COVID positives and rule outs (lol). I made another post about it on this sub actually! But anyways. Despite the crippling anxiety and questionable PPE, here’s what I’ve picked up: -Doctors are tending to not want to treat a fever of

EDIT: woah, thankyou for the response guys, and for the awards! I just woke up (Aussie here) so I will go through comments today. 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. Our 5-year-old son is severely disabled due to a rare genetic abnormality I carry. I pursued IVF for

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
