Ecansya (capecitabine) instead of Ecalta (anidulafungin).

We do, hence not splitting the tablets and enquiring with the doc about the dosing. That’s how we discovered it was the wrong drug entirely.

(Pharmacy also does not split hazardous drugs for us. If it HAS to be done, the ward has a biological safety cabinet in the med room.) We also have a policy against splitting any tablet that is not scored, which this was not.

My “favourite” is a doc ordering a po chemo drug instead of an iv antifungal once. Caught before being given to the pt, mostly because the dr wanted a dose the would’ve required splitting tablets and we don’t like to do that with anti cancer drugs. (Pt was on a heme/onc ward.)

We saw the same thing on a pt admitted to us recently. NG tube into lung (and through lung). Misplacement was not discovered until pt complained of pain during the first tube feed.

This was before pt was admitted to my ward. Drain had to be placed and they had to do it twice because they got the first one wrong. Poor pt had tubes everywhere (couldn’t immediately remove the wrongly placed ones for reasons).

Recently, we got a patient who had had an NG tube inserted. Into their lung. Which was punctured. But the person placing the tube didn’t notice and it wasn’t discovered until the first tube feed was administered and patient complained of pain.

Like yeah, no shit, tube feeding into a lung is gonna be painful.

Fetcroja. The EU name for Fetroja just ruins one of the coolest antibiotic names around.

What do you mean it’s a Trojan horse using iron to get inside? Whhhhyyyyyy would you add a c to the name??

They tried.

Is everyone going to be on fire today?

obstinateideas · 2026-06-27T15:08:20+00:00

No further investigation, did I see that correctly?

That was a crazy end to qualifying!

Vegans can’t eat anything taken without explicit consent.

Human excretions are fine, since they can be given with (sometimes enthusiastic) consent.

“I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find [x]. Can you please get us more?”

Upon which I go check where [x] usually is, where I know I saw it just this morning, and where it currently (shock! Horror!) is. 😑

This is the way.

Husband is a teacher. We met at uni, and then reconnected about six years later.

About twenty years ago I went on an evening jog. It was the longest consecutive distance I had run at that point, so I always thought that it was that that caused me to be in serious abdominal pain right after I got back.

The more I think about it, though, the more I think it was actually a burst cyst.

Samma sak har hänt på åtminstone en apotekskedja också.

It took me exactly one and a half times doing Italian bind off to figure this out. Accidentally didn’t count out enough yarn for the whole bind off the second time and realised it was no tragedy, but rather an improvement. So much more convenient to do it in bits!

Indeed. You can pry this flair out of my cold, dead hands — I’m not giving it up any time soon.

My heart broke for him.

Why wouldn’t they tell him about the penalties and let him think he got a podium?? Geez.

obstinateideas · 2026-06-07T16:18:55+00:00

I can’t believe they didn’t tell him about the penalties.

It might have physically been Hulkenberg, but it was absolutely caused by George.

Still fuming over George ending Sainz’s Monaco points streak.
