Physician’s note

Contraindications-lf it is known that there are certain drugs that are capable of producing complications if used in the management of the exposure to a given product, then this information must be noted in the physician s note. 

At times those label writers that are developing the physician s note section of the first aid advice literally believe such a note will only be read by a physician. In reality, the note is frequently read by people who have some degree of medical training but who are not physicians. Therefore the label writer should exercise caution in writing such a note so that the technical language contained in it is not such as to make it incomprehensible to a paramedic, who may be attempting to treat the patient.

In most cases, however, the physician s presence was not enough, nor was his authority necessarily respected. Forman noted three reasons why people did not want to take physic. The first was that they were too busy. The second was that it was against their complexion and did not agree with their nature. The third was that, although physic was neither good nor bad in itself, it was abused by physicians, and this caused people to fear it ... 

Pierre Blaud (1774-1858), a French physician, first noted the medicinal use of ferrous (Fe+2) sulfate (FeS04) in 1832. Blaud used ferrous sulfate to treat anemia, a condition that was then called chlorosis or love sickness and frequently observed in younger women. The standard treatment had been ferric (Fe+3) oxide (Fe ). Blaud s protocols soon became the treatment of choice because of the higher solubility of the sulfate over the oxide. Blaud s nephew, who was a pharmacist, marketed the veritable pills of Doctor Blaud worldwide.1... 

In its decision of revision, the District Court of Monchengladbach does not waste time on such considerations. It did not even take note that the name of the physician accused by Freimark was actually Dr. Zenkteller. Similarly, by failing to consider this Polish physician s duties, which are known in detail, it also neglected to ensure the proper evaluation of Freimark s statements. 

There are very real differences between the medical cultures of mental health and primary care. As mentioned in the previous chapter, physicians are nnder severe time constraints, which should be respected. For example, telephone conversations with physicians rarely last longer than 5 minntes withont interfering with the physician s responsibilities for patient care. A physician may appreciate a two- or three-sentence note or e-mail, providing a brief update on a patient, rather than having to find time to retnrn a phone call. 

It should be noted that an investigator s IND , or physician s IND , is not a specific practice defined by regulation, and that these are orthodox INDs. It is true, however, that these IND submissions are usually smaller than those from pharmaceutical companies (see Section 32.3 below). 

A 21-year-old female presents to the physician s office with complaints of very painfnl vnlvar ulcers. The patient states she has had the symptoms for approximately 3 days, and they are worsening. She says that prior to the ulcerations, there was a burning and tingling sensation of the skin in the same area. She has noted similar symptoms like this before and has been told it is sexually transmitted. On examination you see multiple extremely tender, vesicular (blisterlike) lesions on an erythematous (red) base on both labia majora of the vulva. She has a moderate amount of tender inguinal lymph nodes bilaterally. The physician uses a swab to sample the ulcer and send it off for diagnostic analysis.

Who Employees who may be exposed to airborne 4,4 -Methylenedianiline (MDA) at or above its action level or where dermal exposure to MDA can occur. (Note the standard does not apply to finished articles that contain MDA or to materials in any form that contain less than 0.1% MDA by weight or volume.) Also, this standard incorporates by reference 1910.38, 1910.1200, and 1910.134, which have additional training requirements. Also, any person who cleans or launders contaminated protective clothing is to be informed of the hazards of exposure to MDA. In addition, the employer must provide specified information to the physician who is conducting medical surveillance, and the employee is to receive a copy of the physician s written opinion within fifteen days after the employer receives it.

A barely veiled adherence to Van Helmont s doctrine is also evident in Boyle s repetition of the Flemish physician s views of the role of fire. Fire, Cameades notes, produces Concretes of a new indeed, but yet of a compound Nature [36]. At least in some cases, fire does not cause separation, but a union that cannot be broken up by fire itself [37]. Cameades also afiSrms that other instmments, such as solvents, have an ability to separate substances, hence agreeing with Van Helmont s preference for such means of analysing bodies [38]. 

Note The physician s hands should not slide over the patient s skin, because this will cause friction and irritation. To avoid fatigue, the physician should use leverage and rock her body rather than apply the traction force with her arms.
