re: Question for Dr's of the OT update in OP

You're definitely right about getting an EKG but my point was that if the EKG was normal, that basically doesn't tell you anything regarding the K so it's not like the absence of peaked Ts (or any of the other things you can get with hyperkalemia) would've changed it. Just saying that people get burned by that sometimes by assuming the EKG is sensitive when it isn't.
