NEVER guess - Miracle MT Posted: Jun 28th, 2016 - 5:49 am In Reply to: Miracle MT - "Aderpine" - BeesKnees
Yep, I slowed it down, but this NP spoke clearly. Being unclear was not the problem. The problem is her lack of education and inability to learn how to say common medication names.
YOU would put amlodipine, but I wouldn't. Aderpine is not even close to amlodipine....and being that new medications DO appear on the market quit frequently... you don't know for sure if she meant amlodipine or not. To me, aderpine is closer to Adderall than to amlodipine. You should never be assuming things or guessing things on a medical report...no matter how many years experience you have.
You would have been in BIG trouble if you wrote amlodipine and she meant Adderall or something else. You could have cost the patient his/her life with your guessing and assuming. NEVER GUESS.
