Pt (post op cabg) has been sick to his stomach.and also, low energy had nausea on and off. was ordered reglan. I went to bring him his first dose, and told him that this was Reglan. he said "that stuff they give to hyperactive kids?" (Reglan/Ritalin, sounds...kind of...close)So i told him that although he needed more energy, i would not be giving him amphetamines to make it happen. lol.

She's had CHF and a-fib for years and recently when telling someone about her swollen legs, she said "it's because I have intestinal heart failure." I had to hold back laughter...
