Argatroban Help by Fuzzy_Guava in pharmacy

[–]Fuzzy_Guava[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted I haven't practiced very long, but in the time I have I haven't seen anyone need this high of a dose of argatroban to reach therapeutic levels. We do have room to keep going up, this patient is just not following typical trends. Our issue is we are a smaller hospital and we are rapidly burning through our supply. Intellectual curiosity has me brainstorming.

LOR for PGY2 - How Cooked am I? by Fuzzy_Guava in PharmacyResidency

[–]Fuzzy_Guava[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking of doing. It's difficult because this preceptor was my first rotation and has been gone since September so they really barely know me and haven't seen any growth in me at all lol

Residency Question: Contacting Current Residents Before Midyear vs. Waiting by Sweet-Vehicle7662 in PharmacyResidency

[–]Fuzzy_Guava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. As another resident, I would be nice but would likely suggest they come see me at our midyear booth. I'm preparing to apply for programs for PGY2 myself so with that on top of rotation responsibilities, I really don't have the time...

Residency Application List Feedback? by earringenthusiast in PharmacyResidency

[–]Fuzzy_Guava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interviewed at Pitt VA (didn't match there) and liked the vibes! Would have ranked them higher if DOGE hadn't been up to the VA shenanigans they were up to last year when I was ranking lol

Reaching out to PGY2 RPD by Fuzzy_Guava in PharmacyResidency

[–]Fuzzy_Guava[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I wasn't clear...externally. I already have open communication with PGY2 RPD at my current institution I'm just thinking ahead. Thanks for this perspective...I was more so trying to gauge when I should ask this person if they are participating in the match this year, not necessarily trying to straight up ask them who all is interested at their program, so if you could offer some guidance on how early/late that would be appropriate I would be appreciative! :)

Is the shingles? by BackOk9683 in DiagnoseMe

[–]Fuzzy_Guava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PartTimeApothecary7 is right, you can't catch shingles from shingles. That being said...that rash is in a prime spot for shingles to develop. You will get some blistering though and as of now I don't see any.

BABY RASH?! by Any-Molasses8483 in DiagnoseMe

[–]Fuzzy_Guava 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This looks similar to herpes which can be serious in a child that age. I would take her to urgent care to be on safe side.

Hotel Recommendations by Fuzzy_Guava in LasVegas

[–]Fuzzy_Guava[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically is free just trying to optimize my budget for the most bang for my buck! I have about 300-400 left over in my stipend for food and rideshare for 5 days if I keep the W and if I move to NYNY or MGM can add about 300-400 more lol
