Tianhang first day home

Today's unusual that I'm working from 7-9pm, and surprisingly I got to go home at around 11:40pm


  • A girl came in with pink eye that's been bothering her. Doctors from urgent care did not seem to offer her good advice. One prescribed VIGAMOX (moxifloxacin) while another prescribed POLYTRIM (trimethoprim / polymyxin B). I had to look up, but turns out that both are indicated for bacterial conjunctivitis. The difference is $$$
  • A pediatric patient, 3 year old, was taking RANITIDINE syrup with dose of 0.75ml (15mg/mL); makes me wonder why?!!?
  • PILOCARPINE was prescribed for dry mouth
  • CLOTRIMAZOLE has vaginal dosage form!! (GYNE-LOTRIMIN)
