For disregarding numerous safety features of which she is professionallly trained to follow and and for being licensed to practice acute care nursing, I think she must be prosecuted for her negligence leading to death. If a pilot ignored numerous electronic and audible safety warnings to pull up...

Vecuronium is used to paralyze patients so that they can be intubated and maintained on a mechanical ventilator with relaxed diaphragm and skeletal muscle.

Basic breakdown of events: 1. The nurse logs into the Pyxis medication system and searches for a proprietary drug named Versed (generic name midazolam) that works as a sedative/anxiolytic. Important: all meds in the Pyxis are listed by generic name to avoid medication errors. 2. The nurse finds...

I lived there for four years, and I absolutely loved it. I plan to move back there down the road. It’s a beautiful area where your dollar goes far with a low cost of living and reasonable home prices, pretty good public schools (depending where you live in the county), very good private schools, an...

You need to do what you feel is the right decision for you (and your family). I got into medicine after working as an engineer for a few years. It’s definitely something that can be done a with a little age and wisdom, and having the experiences that go with being a 46yo and a prior career as a phar...

Imagine that. Some doctors are generous, some doctors are just ok, some doctors are just assholes. It’s almost like they’re like every other American. And maybe those doctors late because they’re dealing with jackasses like Xcalibur who no-show and still be expected to be seen on their time. ...

The reason I’m replying to your half-wit rant is because you ain’t getting the point. You need the remedial explanation. This isn’t my first career. People no-show all kinds of appointments, clearly. Do you sit at the auto-mechanic for the entirety of the time your mechanic is servicing you car?...

I guarantee you’re the same dumbass that bitches and moans that you have to wait 6 weeks for an appointment with me. I know you’re time is valuable to you. My time is valuable too. It’s valuable to me and every patient that needs to see me. When you no-show an appointment for whatever reason, yo...

Misdiagnosed my arse. The ER did exactly what they were supposed to do. The standard of care for a kid with the flu is make sure vitals are stable and that the kid can tolerate PO fluids and then send his arse home. You don’t admit a kid because he has the flu - you do the opposite. You don’t want...
