“Vancomycin is a bad antibiotic, get over it.”

Antibiotics are horrible and I hate that I have to be on them right now. Damn you ear infection

Colonoscopy and Endoscopy

Hello my fellow blog readers. How are you doing? I was absent last week. I had so much going on getting ready for my colonoscopy/endoscopy on Thursday. The prep for the colonoscopy was horrible, HORRIBLE!!!! I even started 4 hours earlier than the instructions indicated. My aide changed me every hour from 12pm-6am. I was physically and mentally exhausted. Thankfully I had an early appointment.…

look i just want to open up "el camino" and walk inside of it and take good care of jesse with all the time and medical equipment and resources i'd ever need and then take my leave once he's recovered and step out and zip up "el camino" behind me. is that so wrong??

Have you ever had a colleague make a comment about your work that you wish you could have framed?

Had to give handoff to our scary antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist, who kind of hates me at baseline, and he muttered this under his breath as though grudgingly impressed.

#it was time for me to write my daily vancomycin note #and I groaned and called the doc because it was definitely easier than writing the thing #but also because it was urosepsis #pharmblr #acute care: 20% of the drama is warranted #antimicrobial stewardship

"Ondansetron" sounds less like a drug name than some kind of weird dance robot. Maybe from Futurama.

Or maybe these:

#I got some to go with my doxycycline because I thought that was what screwed my stomach in the hospital #but so far all is good #maybe that epic week of nausea was just because my kidneys were trying to commit hari kari due to yet another antibiotic (vancomycin) #Youtube

Nurse y/n: i need to see ur arm so i can start that iv and giv u that vancomycin

Ghost: no thank ill just sleep it off

Nurse y/n: EXCUSE ME?! YOU HAVE MENINGITIS

Its all fun and games for ghost until he pisses y/n off to the point he gets re-assigned to the 5ft2 Filipino charge nurse who doest take shit from NOBODY

Charge rn: okay Riley i need to see ur arm and get this vanco drip done

Ghost: N.O.

Charge rn: N.O.? Thats not going to happen. you have 2 choices. Comply or become intubated,sedated,and restrained. So what ls gonna be.

Ghost: *low key terrified. Slowly putting his arms out*

and just then, the king felt true fear for the first time.

nah but ghost being a fussy patient because he always refuses help. and the nurses/doctors are so fucking over it. all they have to do is threaten sedation and he complies...

he could literally be on death's door and be like " 'm fine. "

Drugs!

Masterlist

Everyone loves drugs, right? And boy are there some juicy ones in surgery. There are more, especially of emergency drugs, but these are some common ones

Anaesthetic drugs

Propofol - the main sleepy juice. It looks like milk, hence the name 'milk of amnesia' (also called jackson juice because it's what killed MJ)

Ketamine - horse tranquiliser. But also used for humans! Very fast acting, and gives good pain relief too (you only need a small amount)

Isoflurane, sevoflurane - anaesthetic gases (bye desflurane, you've polluted the atmosphere for too long)

Atracurium, rocuronium - reversible muscle relaxants, they take a few minutes to fully kick in

Neostigmine, sugammadex - muscle relaxant reversal, sugammadex (nicknamed sugar) is more powerful

Suxamethonium - nonreversible muscle relaxant. It wears off after 2-6 minutes unless you have a rare genetic condition. Also works really quickly (30 seconds)

Lidocaine, bupivacaine - local anaesthetic, injected into the area you want to numb, or used in a spinal anaesthetic

Benzodiazepines (midazolam, diazepam etc.) - sedatives, not enough to fully conk you out, but will make you a bit sleepy and more relaxed

Pain relief

Paracetamol (tylenol) - mild pain relief, can be given through IV for better results

Morphine - the simplest opioid, usually IV or given orally (apparently tastes a bit like liquorice?)

Fentanyl and alfentanyl - much stronger pain relief, used rarely except during induction of anaesthesia

Antibiotics

Not always given, used more in orthopaedics or where there's a risk of infection. The type given is usually up to the anaesthetist's preference unless there's an existing infection that's been cultured

Common ones: amoxicillin, vancomycin, gentamicin, clindamycin, flucloxacillin, doxycycline

Emergency drugs

Tranexamic acid - sometimes given at the start if there's a risk of bleeding. Helps to prevent blood loss

Atropine - increases heart rate

Glycopyrronium - increases heart rate, also reduces saliva production

Ephedrine - increases blood pressure

Metaraminol - increases blood pressure

Adrenaline - increases heart rate and blood pressure, used for cardiac arrests and anaphylaxis

Intralipid - treats local anaesthetic toxicity

Dantrolene - treats malignant hyperthermia (a life threatening condition where the body temperature raises really high)

Adenosine, amiodarone - treats arrhythmias

Digoxin - slows heart rate

I am home in quarantine, doing a lot better! A lot of stressful & painful things happened, but I have to quarantine for at least 2 weeks thanks to c. diff. I will be able to make more art soon, & I apologize for the delay.

I'd like to shout out the medication Dificid for being run by evil people who want to charge hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, for a cure to a highly contagious & dangerous infection. You are dirty, evil bastards.

If you ever get c.diff in USA, request something called "vancomycin hydrochloride" if you don't want to go broke.

(enjoy my dog!)
