Oops

I'm pretty sure I just heard Chase, on the show House, order Streptokinase and heparin. That would be a no-no. You can use tPa with heparin, but not streptokinase.

The environment of medicine is all wrong on the show, but usually the medicine (diagnostically) is accurate. Where was your physician-fact checker? Tsk tsk. I'm disappointed.
