2scents -“Most inpatient protocols call for steroids when the patients are hypoxic or have elevated CRPs.
Early steroid treatment may be detrimental. Timing is key.”
Let me reword my question.
I just want to prove that I know medicine.
So in a case of hypoxia or elevated CRPs – obviously an inpatient – when would you NOT give Steroids?!?
For e/o else – Medicine is like Cooking.
Anybody can follow a recipe, but it doesn’t always Work. Most of the time – You need a thinking Cook.
Same with medicine – anybody can follow Protocols, but not everybody can use them correctly, or ad lib.
