Amazing!

I read this in a note written by one of our critical care fellows for a patient who was transferred due to hypoxia. I'm sure all the pharmacists out there will be absolutely surprised by this new use for this drug (or maybe it's an off-label thing, since we are a teaching hospital).


metronidazole currently, added for hypoxia


And if that wasn't amazing enough, I'm not the only "mad as hell" person at the Hotel. Apparently, the good folks at Gallup are getting an earful in their polls, especially this one: Congress' job approval falls to 11%. It's about time.

But, I have to thank my old buddy, Steve, who found this jolly video below that every rehab nurse will love. If only all the toilets in the Hotel could have a bottle of this to kill the smell from some bowel programs.

Enjoy!
