Ok. I had a patient this week in rotations and here is his Dx:
HIV
Hep B
Diplopia
GERD.
Can someone please explain to me why
1. Dr.s put everyone on Heparin. He has NO hx of DVT or Pulmonary Embolus. No abd surgery. Nothing.
2. my pt is on Vancomycin and Maxipime. No bacterial infections at all, only viral. In case people don't know: Antibiotics don't treat viruses. Is there some reason that Im missing? And he doesn't have diarrhea... so no C. Diff.
I can't go back to the hospital and ask the doctor for his rationale. Im hoping there's someone more intelligent than me that might could explain this.
Let me know if you have any other questions, I have all his lab tests and the rest of his chart and MAR in front of me.
