All of the above. For that HIV medication I mentioned before, it was based on weight and they had to do an equation.Yes this is correct which is why there is residency and standardized tests. Being a hard worker is a sign of intelligence as well as sticking to something that has a desirable outcome. There are many types of intelligence as well as social intelligence.
These doses are done by experiments that doctors perform. Also certain medications are dosed on weight like tylenol 15mg/kg other medications like bactrim depends on other medications like warfarin and what you are treating.
You mean the doctors couldn't do the dosage by the patient's weight or did they have to do an equation?
In my experience with testing doctors, most simply let a computer program do the work for them. They just sit there, input symptoms, see what pops up, let the computer figure out the dose by attributes and call it a day.
I’m assuming you’re a doctor, nurse or some other healthcare professional. I’m not saying you don’t know how to dose correctly (I don’t know you). I’m just saying a shockingly large percentage of doctors I’ve tested do not know how to dose correctly.
You may find this offensive, but doctors are kinda just glorified mechanics of the human body. Docs and mechanics have a very similiar skill set.
