Subject: soft call?
This patient presents to us with a left distal radius fracture. This was a "soft call" as he had no changes on the x-ray however did have some soreness right over the growth plate so he was treated with a splint.

Subject: PS -Did you think to call a pharmacy? sm
This is what I did when something like this comes up. I know they want you to use the slightest amount possible, and usually never prescribe more than a small tube at a time. This is a very huge amount. I find pharmacists usually are very helpful if you don't ask them more than a few times a year. I would rather do this than say "a pound," just picture it in your head - that's a lot.
