On a daughter-of-an-infectious-disease-specialist-note

When did ceftriaxone/doxycycline become the treatment of choice for congestive heart failure exacerbations?  And did I mention that I HATE CLONIDINE!  Oh, and when someone's blood pressure is 240/130 it may be wise to ask if she missed her midday dose of said clonidine and spare yourself the nitroglycerin drip.

Or in other words: TAKE A HISTORY, and (pretty please) stop misdiagnosing CHF as pneumonia!
