1 Outbursts:

  1. It was the first night on the Unit, in that long-lost purgatory between graduation and taking Nursing Boards when they still used GN designation. I looked over the MARs and found "spirits fermenti" prescribed for withdrawal symptoms.
    Being a freshly minted Nurse, I dutifully looked it up the PDR. Nothing. Looked it up in the computer. Nothing. Looked through the file of package inserts we kept on the Unit. Nada.
    Next step, of course, was to call the Pharmacy, which I did.. dutifully of course. I asked the Pharmacist for the package insert for spirits fermenti.
    Short pause. What I later came to realize was the sound of a supressed giggle and the answer.
    "I'l look around, but I don't think Jack Daniels comes with an insert".
    Sorta explained why we were held in such high regard in the drunk community.
