Amateur Hour Continues

I must be a dummie commie mutt. Ex trim carpenter= US system. Nurse= metric system
I switch back and forth as needed but it confuses others

We do the same thing. Metric system still sucks. I like the accuracy of standard measurements better

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Who would steal a trumpet from a church? Was it ever recovered?

Some liberal who 'needed' it.

 

[Orangeburst]

I know the concept of work place readers...too expensive....since i wear my glasses on my head. I have accidentally dropped them under a rolling bed and crushed them. I just use "cheaters" for reading and computer work.

I am very very very careful with meds. My pharmacology teacher beat us about the head and shoulder area during clinical rotations about drug safety.

Yea, on the joke, it was not funny due to the seriousness of your profession. My apologies.

No offense, no need for apology. All good.

LOL.......Ever hear of honest Abe...........here's honest Donald.

 

[volfanjustin]

You still suck at this. I voted for Kasich numb nuts.

That makes sense, so you are just a bitter never Trumper. You like the status quo with normal weak R candidates

 

[Velo Vol]

Do you understand the ins and outs of IV drugs?

Yes

It's telling how some of you confuse any degree of civility, decorum, and decency with weakness.

You libs haven’t had any of that for a very long time, you all enjoyed being able to say whatever you want and call the likes of McCain, Romney and Bush any names you felt like without getting any push back, luckily at least for now those days are over

 

[Velo Vol]

Yes

So I just started Remicade. It takes forever (2+ hours).

The dosing I see on the interenets is:

40mL/hr. for 15 minutes, then if tolerated, increase to: 80mL/hr. x 30 minutes, then if tolerate, increase to: 160mL/hr. for the duration of infusion

I can see starting slow the first time, to see if there's a bad reaction. But beyond that, if 160mL/hr is safe after 45 minutes, why is it not safe after five minutes? Why is it staggered like this?

Remicade is made to suppress the immune system so the infusion needs to slowly ramp up. The clinical trials show the drip being sequenced like that to stop a hypersensitivity reaction or total immunosuppressive effect.
The recommendation of rates came from reactions in clinical trials. Realistically you can have a reaction with the 1st or 12th infusion.
Slowly increasing the infusion gives the body time to read the drug and hopefully not overreact.

This is something different than what people usually refer to by "drug allergy"?

But Ilhan Omar!

Can you bring her tweets condemning the muslim shooter at the naval yard?

I'll wait.

Yes, the body can overreact and suppress bone marrow production. Thereby you would have no immune response at all.

 

[Velo Vol]

Fat chance of that. Not being able to calm down my immune system is the problem. But maybe I'll have convulsions or something.

Guess the nurse taking my blood pressure every 15 minutes should have been a red flag. Sigh.

“Some person did something.”

Hope you get well soon Velo.

Thanks. First loading dose was almost two weeks ago. I improved to about as good as I've been all year. TBD if it will better yet and how long it may last.

If he was the dumbest “ marketing “ student he’s ever had , that professor must have a list of billionaire former students a mile long he can call for a loan . The one thing I don’t believe is true , is saying that Trump can’t market something . I think we all know that’s one thing he does excel in . #MAGA
