Aah, that reminds me to remind my anaesthetist on Monday to avoid Endone, perhaps give me Dilaudid or similar as I go seriously loopy on Endone when I had my multiple # vertebrae. Morphine infusion on Niki box was ok.. I also scored some endone in recovery 1 due to pain,
Unlikely. Maybe a morphine PCA.Dilaudid
Niki pumps are great little devices.Morphine infusion on Niki box
I remember when I was a young Uni Student and had a tooth extracted. i was given the popular pain medication Doloxene Co.Aah, that reminds me to remind my anaesthetist on Monday to avoid Endone, perhaps give me Dilaudid or similar as I go seriously loopy on Endone when I had my multiple # vertebrae.

Having bilateral inguinal hernia surgery (why oh why does this stuff happen as you prepare for an OS trip?)
AKA hydromorphone (yes correct spelling) is 5 times more potent than morphine. Easy enough to dose adjust to get comparable effect to morphine.Dilaudid
Agree useful in palliative care of people with renal failure. One of the commonest drug prescribing error in that circumstance though: suspect it is that potent doses don't sound very big so miss the RNs querying if the dose is actually correctAKA hydromorphone (yes correct spelling) is 5 times more potent than morphine. Easy enough to dose adjust to get comparable effect to morphine.
But for some reason it is not used in the normal postop setting - one theory is that it sounds much like morphine. So errors in prescribing with Drs writing morphine level doses in a hydromorphone prescription - which means the patients get 5 times the usual dose. No one will realise until pt becomes blue.
Great for palliative care though.
There is a new kid on the block: Tapentadol - has a triple mechanism of analgesia action.Dilaudid was great
Thanks for the link. Good article but just repeats common thoughts around this process. However people still buy a lottery ticket with longer odds very much an individual decision.This sums it up nicely…
Hype comes to mind
They are selling insurance - like the paint protection, leather protection, rust protection that used car salespeople like to hype up.
Oh well, not too serious - as long as you can still load the gun, even if you're firing blanks.....Just read that some long Covid males were failing to cough. Could crimp population growth.
On a serious note, lack of cough is something that is reported to be unsatisfying by some post-prostate surgery patientsOh well, not too serious - as long as you can still load the gun, even if you're firing blanks.....
I have successfully managed to avoid acquiring any of these things since I moved into my new home (having left the old ones with my ex-husband), so it IS possible.Then add the reusable plastic bags - they use more plastic which are much harder to biodegrade than single use plastic bags.
Households now have large numbers of reusable plastic bags
Having been in California for a couple of weeks I had the opportunity to hear all those drug company advertisements.
One advert said you should take Co-enzyme Q10 to replace what statins remove from your body. Have been on statins since 1994.
Never heard of that one. Opioid.There is a new kid on the block: Tapentadol - has a triple mechanism of analgesia action.

Pinot mate, Pinot!Palexia. Was given that prescribed 50-100mg 2-4 times a day IR for an occasional but severe post-operative (hernia) pain. Didn't seem to do anything and as I read it was an opioid, I got off it after 2 days. No change to the pain after that, which faded over a week.
