    TraumaNurseRN replied to NativeTexan's topic in Emergency

    It's not in our policy. Plus....we're not allowed to have meds on us or in our pocket. We have the pyxis system and they would have to purchase huge amounts of lido and not to mention the storage...

  17. migraine faker at the ED!

    TraumaNurseRN replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    TraumaNurseRN replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    There are plenty of non-narcotic pain relievers out there for addicts, and I disagree that Docs never treat pain of those who suffer an addiction. It's kind of unfair to suggest that a physician...
