feeling a bit better

Steven and I are both starting to feel a bit better. Dan said Steven nearly made it through the elite training session at UM yesterday without having to use his inhaler. While still not well, I was feeling better enough to start doing a bit of housework and laundry today.

Work was frustrating. A doctor called down asking about dosing of a drug called mesna for an overdose of cyclosporine. We looked in every drug reference we had, and googled for a couple of hours. There was simply no information on that. The doctor eventually called back and he had meant to say the drug overdose was cyclophophamide! We wasted at least three hours looking for something that doesn't exist because the doctor couldn't keep his drug names straight. And the first drug (cyclosporine) is an immunosuppresant agent and the second (cyclophosphamide) is for chemotherapy. I am really glad I am not that doctor's patient! Ah well. Life in an inpatient hospital pharmacy.
