Order entry fun!
It's early in the morning and I'm awake already (yes I do dream of pharmacy) so I thought I'd share with you an order I received last night. Go ahead tell me what this says:
1. Oh how I love doctors who are clueless! Especially when their handwriting is crap! There are a million and one drugs that start with "cef," a common tactic used by the clueless is to write "cef" and then add random letters and hope you get a drug. Sorry, doc, "cefataziaxone" just doesn't exist yet.
2. er...actually this drug apparently didn't rate it's own number. Not only that but it's boringly legible and appropriate. C'mon, doc, where's the fun in that?
2. Oh here's a good one. Is it just me or does this doctor want to give the patient 600 grams of Tylenol every 2 hours? I'm sure that will get their temperature down, doc, I mean, heck, who would have time to have a fever when they have to take 1,847 tablets every two hours?
3. This one's not a pharmacy order, you can ignore it...phew!
