Mashup Score: 1Diary of a Family Physician - 8 day(s) ago
I knock on the door of my first clinic appointment. He is a longtime patient with opioid use disorder who is here for a buprenorphine/naloxone refill. My nurse tells me he does not seem well. Looking at his vital signs, I notice a heart rate of 133 beats per minute. I walk into the room and see that he is alert but appears ill and pale with a rattling cough. I ask him to go to the emergency department and my nurse calls transport to take him there immediately.
