While I feel I'm an excellent MT, I refuse to get as ANAL as some about this subject disc versus disk....one being from Latin and one being from the Greeks....

We follow a Greek calendar but the Egyptian one was here before that.......

Anywhoo, the site: http://www.medabbrev.com/main.cfm (which you need to be a member of, I believe to access it), says cc is now to be changed to mL because it is listed as a dangerous abbreviation, along with a whole other list of em.

That's all I wanted to post. 

A KUB, and abdomen series, and of course a barium enema (which can be done with air contrast as well). And a CT or MRI of the pelvis, of course.

of her first metatarsal phalangeal joint, her tarsal metatarsal joints, as well as her "show-pod" joints.

Benadryl® Injection  I.M., I.V.: 10-50 mg in a single dose every 2-4 hours, not to exceed 400 mg/day.

fentanyl - Preoperative sedation, adjunct to regional anesthesia, postoperative pain: I.M., I.V.: 50-100 mcg/dose
