@_FarmercistP_ You should not get a CT scan during pregnancy. Risk of radiation to the fetus. Another one of those flawed medical shows

@piersmorgan Please don’t take too many NSAIDs for pain control, can cause ulcers in the stomach and also affect your kidney function negatively.

@SeeFisch The problem with pills sometimes is the increased pill burden as you have to take multiples of it to get to a dose of around 15 g or higher per day. I usually prescribe the powder form of it. It will cost you around 50-60 dollars a month but can be bought off for cheaper online.

As a Nephrologist, why do I love vasopressin? Particularly when I see patients in the CCU?
