I put up a thread on here a couple months ago about giving an abx to a pt with UTI who also coded. We got her back, but damn, I have given that abx like a gazillion times over 21 years.

To me it comes down to the common sense rule: drugs have exp dates so what's the probabililty of me actually needing that drug before it goes out of date? Even when I was a globe-trottin' death-dealing military man as rarely needed abx, so now that I am not, I see very little need.
