Comments on: Bee Stings http://gruntdoc.com/2007/09/bee-stings.html Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas Sat, 12 May 2012 12:36:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: GruntDoc http://gruntdoc.com/2007/09/bee-stings.html/comment-page-1#comment-7721 GruntDoc Wed, 03 Oct 2007 05:33:47 +0000 http://gruntdoc.com/2007/09/bee-stings.html#comment-7721 As for the clinical aspects of this particular case, tha patient was initialy somewhat sedated from the 50mg of benadryl IV given essentially prophylactically by EMS. Whether he was just tough as a boot (as are all from Texas) or sedated from the benadryl, this fella didn't make a sounds as all those stingers were removed, serially, over nearly an hour. On re-evauation he felt okay, had a responsible family who would stay with him, all vitals were normal. No reason to keep him, so, back to the world. Home, to bee happy. (Sorry, had to keep up with the theme of this threads' comments).
