Copper treatment
Hi, I'm in hospital. I've had another transfusion and my neuts are nearly zero.
I've had one dose of copper sulfate IV with Hydrocortisone premed. It was 4mgs which was supposed to run over 4 hours but some nurses knowing better than the pharmacy or my doctor think its okay to run it over 3 hours (sarcasm).
To be fair this is what happened in the past and part of the reason I stopped having copper. I just thought it was inappropriate for the nurse to change the treatment duration to suit herself.
I am not having copper today but the doctor insists I resume tomorrow because my condition is "dire"....his words, not mine.
Regards
Chirley
