The patient was already on oxygen and had the same amount of oxygen at his house already prescribed. Needless to say, I went to the patient, asked if he felt he could walk, he said no, and I charted 'inappropriate order'shadowkatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-25154703898137109222013-09-28T16:34:36.528-04:002013-09-28T16:34:36.528-04:00Thank you so much for the comment.

The doctor listened to my lungs but said she didn't hear wheezing and there was probably no need for a neb treatment at the clinic.<br /><br />I like to think I've become more educated by reading your blog and as a result I almost fell in love with the doc right there on the spot!
