Indeed, the stripey brown one is eye-catching. I think a podcasting Dr. taught me to keep a current list in my wallet, and this post has prompted me to print a new copy, my old one's getting a bit tattered-looking.
It's one step above, "You know, the red one and the little yellow one," I guess.
I had someone come straight to urgent care from the airport from their flight back from Vietnam with a baggie of pills like that that they'd received there for their fever. I'm pretty sure one of them was probably ciprofloxacin.
The patient had a petechial rash and platelets of 9,000. From their disease process or one of the dozen or so pills from Vietnam?
Turned out to be Dengue Fever. They never did figure out in the hospital what any of the rest of those medications were.
What?! Who emptied my medicine cabinet into a sandwich bag?
ReplyDeleteI just give my doctor a typed list - much easier for both of us.
Wes,
ReplyDeleteIs that a root berr barrel candy at the bottom of the bag?
