Oxycodone ER Plasma

No need to leave this in the "Latest Image" box.    GtrplayerOxycodone ER Plasma Levels: From The FDA, a tablet representing Oxycontin's plasma levels.

It's Oxycontin not "cotten" or "cottin" or "cotton". Come on, know the drugs you are prescribed.

Just make sure you tell the

Just make sure you tell the anesthesiologist before surgery.  I can't see where it will make any difference or why he told you to discontinue all of your medications two days before surgery.

Misleading graphs

Note the sneaky use of a log scale on the y-axis which makes it appear that serum concentrations are sustained at high levels for a long period of time.

I know, that makes no sense

I know, that makes no sense to me as to why he told you to discontinue your meds prior to surgery. I've had probably 10 surgeries and was NEVER told to stop my meds. Now if it was a blood thinner such as Coumadin then I could see the reason. Strange.
