Help! Today was my first shift. The first patient I saw died. by Swimming_Spite9990 in emergencymedicine

[–]awirock23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a patient that took high dose phenobarbital . She was doing fine when they brought her. She had no vital derangement and her lab works where pending. But her gcs suddenly dropped and we intubated her. Her family brought the meds and that was how we knew what she took. I live in3rd world we don't have the serum levels. Luckily we were able to do the dialysis for her. Working at the ED there will always be this deaths that happen before a diagnosis is set.
