   AFAF....what would have happened if you just quietly left the state for somewhere you were licensed in and hoped for the best (assuming you were confidently unaware of any actual malpractice issues)? I'd be less concerned with the state BON than CMS/...

   Tough deal. As to the metoprolol, its pretty much beta 1 selective so if the HR wasn't in the tank, I wouldn't say his hypotension was due to that. You don't mention when his last dose was, but you don't mention bradycardia either. RVR Afib can cause...

   Why the angst about staff being aware of a life threatening medical diagnosis? That's a form of body shaming and has no place in schools. There is no shame in having diabetes or any medical condition and keeping that a secret results in the very prob...

    RN's prepare meds every day, why is Botox different?

11. Medical Aid in dying

    offlabel replied to Indigo9899's topic in Hospice

    The problem with 'slippery slope' arguments is that they are groundless speculation. The logical progression I'm identifying (and differentiating from a slippery slope argument) is demonstrable. Look at the Netherlands and it's MAID institutional co...
