But, putting a patient with chronic, stage 4 kidney failure on 600 meds is probably not a good plan.

I am exaggerating a little, but my patient is on at least 20 medications right now. This person has CHF and chronic renal failure. Yeah, how are most drugs excreted? You guessed it, through the kidney. It just drives me bonkers that they put people on so much medication. Doctors don’t seem to want to take the time to check all the meds and they just keep giving more and more.

On a happy note, it is Friday and Penelope and I are going out tonight!! In all actuality, I am looking forward to starting my new clinical next Monday. I just like to complain about all the stupid shit that people do.
