[QUOTE="1spuds, post: 2112741, member: 505458"] The attitude is how do we treat you when we have no idea what meds you are self administering?Example,you are DKA in intensive care and your friends are smuggling in McDonalds? Or you are on a medical floor receiving pain meds or other powerful drugs and self administering...you will have a choice....give em up or get out. When you are admitted we inventory all your belongings and what isnt acceptable is taken away and locked up.Untested electrical devices.Cigarettes and lighters.Large amounts of money unless you sign a waiver,and ALL drugs. We arent going to accept liability when you are are working against us and we dont have the time to play games with you. With insulin your Dr will order your basal insulin and put you on a sliding scale for your short acting insulins,which we will test and administer.If,outside standard testing times you dont feel right,we will test you.If results are abnormal we will call Dr and treat you as prescribed by Dr. You will find it much more difficult the next time you come into ER and have been playing with us and need an ICU bed....likely you will spend your whole visit lying on a gurney in ER. Next time chances are you will go elsewhere and grace them with your presence. ICU beds,and general med floor beds for that matter, are prized and wont be wasted on somebody playing games. [/QUOTE]
