Allergy Olympics

[u/Asleep-Palpitation43]

Is it wrong that if I see a patient has more than 10 allergies I IMMEDIATELY assume she's (bc it's always a she) a psych case?

In 24 years I've never been wrong.

You'll never read this in a textbook but add it to your practice today and thank me later👍

literally this week, had pt stated she was deathly allergic to standard otc pain meds (tylenol, ibuprofen motrin etc), but responds well to opioids, asked for norco… 5 mins later she’s threatening to sue us cause we told her norco had tylenol in it n accused us of not caring abt her pain.
