If you don't include the pre-medication time in your calculations, is this really 'by the book'? You are understating the time you spend hooked to the machine when you don't add in the time with premedicating
True, but like the agreement Suzanne and I have to run TPN in 10 hrs, rather than 12, Stella and I have an arrangement that allows me to premed intermittently. It is important to maintain flexibility...it allows me to feel more independent.
