Learning that there is much more to medicine than diagnosis and treatment.

We're out of Salt Water!

I think it's totally laughable that while we are sending our SMART team to Yogjakarta to help the quake victims (and I think it's a noble cause); on the home front, my hospital (I am told) is running low on Normal Saline Infusion Solution! It seems that the contract with the supplier has expired. Now all my patients are on either Dextrose Saline or Paeds Solution, regardless whether they are diabetics or the fluid regimen is woefully inadequate (for instance, to correct drug induced hyponatreimia). :-(

Someone should be made accountable for this.
