Left over IV / PICC Medications??

In reagards to PICC line patients and IV infusions... I realized upon my new scheduled delivery of IV meds, Saline and Heparin that I will have a supply left over. I can't stand the fact that what ever reamins left over after treatment gets thrown out! I do understand why however, It pertains to the HIPPA act.

So my thought was rather than to have it thrown away, I tried to find a use for it. I did just that by contacting my Vetrenarian, who by the way founded Common Sense for Animals, it is a nonprofit organization founded in 1990 by Robert R. Blease, D.V.M.(www.commonsenseforanimals.org)

So, I found a great cause to donate my left over supplies and want to bring some awareness to anyone who may have left over supplies that feels the same way I do about just disposing of it.

Thanks for reading this and possibly taking this into consideration.

Best wish's to all for good health!

Is all you can do is ask. This I found funny, my Vet told me he takes animal medicine for his arthritis. He said it's cheaper and it works! Wonder if it's legal. Nah, I don't want to know.

So you thought my idea was a good one? Me too. Thank you!

How is your Lyme doing or how are you feeling?

Thanks for asking how my Lyme is doing! I have no symptoms of Lyme that I can feel at this moment. I am so grateful for that. I cannot believe the trouble you all have with thos picc lines. OUCH! I hope you get better soon.

Yeah and about that vet taking animal medicine. It's probably more common than we'd ever imagine. I knew a vet that gave his antibiotics to his children. Oh well, to each his own.

I hope one day to have no symptoms or daily reminders of Lyme and related complications.
