Not I, Said the Duck
The return of Stone Cold.

Tonight:

Intern: Can I prescribe oral meds in CCU?

Me: As long as they aren't antibiotics.

Intern: They aren't. Just enalapril, denosyl and marin.

Me: What's marin?

Intern: I dunno.

Me: You're prescribing a medication and you don't know what it does?

Intern (laughing): No, I know what it is.

Me: What is it?

Intern: (pause) I'm gonna go talk to pharmacy.


This is why I love my job. It every now and then makes me feel very smart.

That story makes me feel really good about the conventional wisdom that MDs are people who couldn't get into vet school.
