The dose is supposed to be 30 mcg every 5 minutes, not 30 mcg/kg (which you have not as yet corrected)<br />Cheers<br />Tomdrtompalfihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004744312431990294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248057085226614935.post-65283910852551977832013-07-29T20:04:52.176-05:002013-07-29T20:04:52.176-05:00Great post Lauren, great pearls for rural medicine...Great post Lauren, great pearls for rural medicine. Pain is a magical beast and its so interesting to see how different patients percieve and cope with it. <br /><br />Thus I have devised Considines Pain Rule: a patients actual pain threshold is inversely proportional to the number of times they say "I usually have a high pain threshold"<br /><br />Cheers, GerryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11190541606235659774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248057085226614935.post-32811770964509633702013-07-29T18:30:50.725-05:002013-07-29T18:30:50.725-05:00Thanks for your comment - the typo is now correcte...Thanks for your comment - the typo is now corrected! Apple's Pages autocorrected mcg to mcv and I missed that second one - thanks!
