Medicine- Day 4

Lesson of the day: learn to prioritize!!!!

Patients in general medicine have many conditions and many drug related problems; therefore, it is important to prioritize these problems so that the most important ones are solved first.

FMI:

  • CK- level that represents muscle breakdown. This is not necessarily heart specific.( i.e. Troponin levels are taken for cardiac specific problems)
  • wait at least 48 hours before pneumonia step down from iv to oral if the patient is hemodynamically stable
