lov2xlr8 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 When I'm covering Gen Med: chest pain (ranging from x2 hours to x2 years) and "I ran out of Dilaudid... and am visiting from out of town so can't see my PMD back home who's name I forget (this is usually followed by the reason they're here, often taking care of sick family member)" And covering stepdown: respiratory failure (usually hypoxic and 2/2 a number of things) And guess which one I like more!?
