  2. Cipro and ITP. What would you do?

    tmd76 replied to tmd76's topic in Emergency

  3. Cipro and ITP. What would you do?

    tmd76 replied to tmd76's topic in Emergency

  5. Cipro and ITP. What would you do?

    tmd76 replied to tmd76's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, this doctor is very well known for doing this. He does not like me anyways because we had a fallout because I didn't do something that he forgot to write orders for. He wrote orders on a patient...

  8. Cipro and ITP

    tmd76 replied to tmd76's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much, I will give this reference to my director. Some of the other ER docs already told me that it is too far of a stretch to say that Cipro could be the cause. They said usually the...

  9. Cipro and ITP

    tmd76 replied to tmd76's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I am trying to find out. I don't feel like this could be my fault. I am trying to research and see if there is any relationship between Cipro and ITP. I think this guy was a code waiting...

  13. Standard precautions ignored

    tmd76 replied to Pattiecake's topic in General Nursing

    That reminds me of an MD I used to work for...he was a real tight-wad when it came to supplies, he would take is gloves off nicely and reuse them. I was working as a medical assistant for him, and he...

    tmd76 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing
