I forgot to blogg a few weeks ago and introduce the new fourth year student that is here. Erica is on her third week in Leader. She is working on a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) project, doing med reviews at the clinic and nursing home, and attending rounds at the nursing home and hospital.
Even though my proposal is at a standstill, my primary care and clinical work is progressing steadily. After the team meeting last month I started doing rounds at the hospital. Each afternoon Erica and I spent 30 to 60 minutes reviewing the charts of in-patients. The hospital really isn't very busy and often there are no drug related problems for us to handle. Last week we did resolve a drug related problem for a patient being started on IV antibiotics. The empiric dose was for the drug to be scheduled three times daily; however, this dose was too high based on the patient's kidney function so we recommended a twice daily dosing schedule. Without our intervention this error would not have been discovered and the result would have been detrimental to the patient.
