The Devil Wears Scrubs
“This is 62-year-old Gloria Vargas’s second admission for chest pain. She’s a tiny, dark-skinned woman who has been rubbing the left side of her chest every few minutes as I talk to her. I have her old chart from her first admission, which I obtained after Alyssa screamed at me for five straight minutes about how it wasn’t possible to see a patient if you didn’t review their old chart first. On her first chest pain admission, Mrs. Vargas’s urine tested positive for amphetamines. It came out that... her husband had slipped some meth into her morning coffee. Because caffeine sometimes just isn’t enough to get you going.
The first thing I did was order a urine tox on her to check for amphetamines again. One thing I’m learning from working at County Hospital is that nobody ever admits to taking drugs. Even when confronted with the results of a positive urine tox, they will stare you right in the eyes and swear on their life they never snorted cocaine. If that’s true, then how did it get in your pee, huh?MoreLess
