    Who will do CNS role?

    I have never heard of "pedi epi". Can you tell me more about how that comes into play at your job? In my world, kids get the usual concentration of epi ("code epi"), but dosed by weight. Its not a...

    Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    For some reason I am immediately imagining him having a secret cache of Viagra hidden away back in the hospital pharmacy. Secretly swapping out patient's sildenafil for aspirin so that he can have...

    Schizoaffective disorder-bipolar type

    Agreed. Bipolar disease is a mood disorder, whereas schizoaffective disorder is categorized under personality disorders (even if it is "bipolar type"). It wouldn't be appropriate to code the mood...
