Chương 7: Was It The Other Way Around?
"What did the lecture say about dosage calculation of Ibuprofen? If the doctor's order was 40mg and the medicine came as 15mg/2ml, the dose to administer to the patient will be...was it 15 multiply by 2 then divide by 40 or was it the other way around?"
Deb Oh scratched her unkempt dark hair as she penned the numbers down on a sheet of paper. Years as a pharmacology student and she couldn't seem to grasp a simple calculation that even a middle schooler would have been ashamed not to have known such basic math.
"5.3ml? Is it the right answer....No, that can't be, it should be 1.3ml that I'm giving to the patient!"
Deb Oh shouted at no one in particular. Her early education was accelerated, she graduated from the college of pharmacology at the age of 19, the philanthropic gesture of her uncle paved the way for a career as a nurse, by the time Deb Oh began working as a new graduate nurse she was already 21 years of age and feeling like an old woman.
The pressure of a drastic change in housing arrangement and the tragic demise of her mother broke the soul of Deb Oh, such that she could not comprehend which way to go in solving a dosage calculation problem.
Confusion was only the beginning of the depressed mind of the young adult in a foreign country.
