Today was pretty tough...for the first 6 hours or so during my shift, every other thought was literally I'd give anything to sleep another wink and I wish I had food. Then things got interesting.

Today the pharm students came and brought out a bunch of drugs for us to try out. The drugs are in liquid form and they wanted us to know what we were giving out to our kids. Here is my personal take on a few drugs...

Amoxicillin - bubble gum. Delicious
Clindamycin - tastes like hyped up cough syrup
Prilosec - gross...tastes like ocean water
Cipro - banana flavor...tastes more like a pina colada. The after taste is god nasty and lasts for a really long time. The root beer chaser didn't help too much.
Iron sulfate - tastes like a bloody nose
Colace - cough syrupy
Lasix - energy drink
I don't remember the other drugs I tried out...I hope there aren't any nasty interactions.

On a side note, I'm giving my kid Lactobacillus to recolonize his colon after clinda and vanc therapy. Adverse reaction, serious flatulence. Sometimes I squat by my kids' beds while doing physical exams. I farted in front of my resident today. I'm not sure if she noted, but she hasn't said anything about it yet. It sounded pretty solid, but whatever.

ps - my team is full of prudes. A guy on my team, jonathan, has an alarm clock for the deaf that shakes his pillow in the morning. Instead of saying that, he said he keeps a vibrator next to his alarm clock to help him wake up. I started cracking up in the middle of rounds. The only person who smiled was a fp captain from travis air base. My attending was not amused. whatever.
