A resident once took Peyton off of Valtrex because he was also on Ganciclovir which are both used for treating Herpes. The problem was that for whatever reason, Ganciclovir was no longer an effective prophylactic against herpes outbreaks for Peyton. He was on it because it was apparently effective in preventing CMV retinitis. Consequently Peyton endured an unnecessary and extremely painful herpes lesion. When I noticed the formation of the lesion, I went balistic on the resident. All he had to do was ask Peyton's physician (or even me) who one would assume had prescribed both drugs simultaneously for some reason. The asking questions bit is awesome and so important.
