Sleepover at HUP!
Finally got some freakin' lasix IV after jumping up and down. Bob's sats are only 93-94% on 6lpm and he needs the help of 2 people to stand. Tuesday he was walking with a walker and his sat on 2lpm was 98-100%. Tried telling this to the hem-onc resident who is still worried about cr.So then they did a cxr which i said isnt going to be helpful cuz this is rt.sided heart failure. They(first resident called for reinforcements) said he might have pneumonia! Sweet Jesus! Bob finally said give me the lasix. They finally ordered it to shut us up I think. Anyway, I'm spending the night til an actual cardiologist sees him tomorrow. Oh! Btw the cxr showed no change!
