Update: I received a text from the flight attendant on 19 April. The lady survived. TLDR: we saved woman’s life in the air. Airlines carry IVs and cardiac drugs. Teamwork is awesome. Yesterday I heard those words in my dream and woke up. The flight attendant repeated the phrase. I’m surprised to

TLDR: we saved woman’s life in the air. Airlines carry IVs and cardiac drugs. Teamwork is awesome. Yesterday I heard those words in my dream and woke up. The flight attendant repeated the phrase. I’m surprised to hear the sounds of fluid bubbling in the back of someone’s mouth, a familiar but alar

* **EDIT #2** * Thank you, everyone, for all your help, suggestions, experiences, and advice. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, truly. I’ve been taking notes to ask her primary care physician on Tuesday as well as things to look/test for in the blood work she will have that day. **EDIT**

Two days ago, I lost one of my very best friends. I had known him since University and we kept up for the last 25 years. We even had a weekly gaming night for years and years and met with other friends every week. Life goes on and we all meet and marry our wives, have kids, move around for jobs and

***Last Edit***. Not sure what happened here.

Hi friends. The responses to my other stories have been overwhelming and I wish I could reply to every thank you and message - know that if I didn't, your thanks is very much appreciated.

It’s a common trope that people in the medical field (most often medical students or medical school applicants) want to go abroad to help people in the developing world. Setting aside the problematic gross “white savior” narrative, I don’t think these are often very useful trips. The majority of the

Okay, I'll attempt to keep this short. I have a patient who is a chiropractor (86 years old) and he thinks he knows a lot more than he actually does about medicine. He has a doctor (who is 70+ years old) that will write him ANYTHING he wants. 86 year old man has active pulmonary TB, just picked

I have a patient who takes metoprolol tartrate 50 mg BID for tachycardia and blood pressure and we got another script for propranolol 10-20 mg as needed for public speaking. Per the doctor the patient will only take the propranolol a max of 10 days per month and won’t take the metoprolol on the days

I’m a staff pharmacist at a large hospital on Epic. I’m wanting to know what kinds of “low-hanging fruit” interventions other people make. I try to fix as many things as I know how, when I have the time. We already do IV/PO conversions and CrCl monitoring on protocols, so I’m mostly talking about “m

For example with metoprolol, you have tartrate or succinate. Or with docusate it’s sodium. What’s the term for the second word? I’m a nurse and I feel like I should know this but don’t. Thanks

Can anybody find a list of the ~Top 100 prescriptions in the country. ClinCalc has a good one but it lumps all the ingredients together and I'm looking for one that provides values for unique drugs and forms (eg, metoprolol tartrate & succinate or alprazolam IR & alprazolam ER). Thanks.
