OMG, wow. I feel like I just travelled through a forum wormhole. NarcolepticRN = Kanzi Monkey. Hello.
So, sorry, what was your point about my TSH question? That I don't know how to read a book? That's silly. Read the thread (you've provided the link already, so that should be easy).
I was not writing orders for or treating this patient. I saw something I hadn't seen before (which, as you know, seeing something is always a bit more real than reading it in a book.) The patient had recently had her synthroid increased, and her most recent TSH was low. No T3/4 had been drawn at that time. This patient's endocrine history was not available to me. I had a lab value and an order to give a drug. I was curious and I asked a question. Give me a break.
I am pretty appalled to find myself--completely out of context--being mocked in this forum.
I hate to tell you this, but railing against nurses is Taurus's raison d' etre. Sorry you found yourself in his crosshairs. One can hope that he'll eventually be too busy as a resident to be bothered misconstruing other people's posts, but don't hold your breath. He's nothing if simple-minded...oops, I mean, single-minded in his pursuit of "rogue nurses." He's a regular "Inspector Javert" of medicine.
