its nice to be home

[levator]

i dont know where everyone else is; whether its back in the states or just plain old relaxing on the island, its just nice to be able to relax. i hope everyone is having a good time whatever they are doing. besides the heat, its nice to be home. its hotter in georgia than on st. maarten but at lease i can sleep without worrying or stressing.

see you all in a few day.

to stay on the island over break but my wife (Jen) went back to the states (Ocean City, Maryland). Everyday I have to hear her gloat about eating breakfast at Krispy Kremes or Donut Donuts. She promised to bring me back a dozen. Yeah right!

Even with nothing to do I find myself still waking around 7-7:30 am. The hardest decision of my day is what beach to go to. heeheee!

I started studying for Pharm! :roll: You know it's going to be a great class when you open up the textbook and it begins with ED50s & pharmacokinetics and also dredges up the old Henderson-Hasselbach equation...good times!

ALoha,

Take it easy over break. Just study the powerpoints to pass and dont read Choe's book for the boards.

PS: It's very important to me as a physician working in a critical care field, so please tell me what it is

the ED50 is a unit used by interns:

ED= "estimated dose"

It is the dose of a medication that 50% of interns will believe is the proper dose. Interestingly, studies show that the ED50 is often well in excess of the LD50. G

ALoha,

So... is the ED50 how long it takes half of the patients presenting to the emergency department to be killed by an intern????

So...would it be safe to say that the ED 50 is very similar to the "Nurse's Dose", especially if it has to do with anti-anxiety/sleep medication.....
