If a little old lady comes into the ED c/o acute GB pain and is given MS..it is not a good idea to tell the nurse. "just give her another 10" when the pt's respirations are 8...Don't worry I did NOT give it!! ...I mention the name Kervorkian to him tho...

BTW: He did thank me later...:)
as the peds er resident thanked me when i pointed out that 25mg of benedryl one time stat dose she ordered was just a little to much for the infant! she was also gracious when i "helped" her figure out how the harriet lane works and that when they say a "max dose in a 24 hour period", that does not mean it can be given all at once!
