I don't know if we have any legal experts on the net but a concern was raised
today by our Anesthia Department Head (MD).  We were discussing Toradol as a
pain med for breakthrough pain on our C-section MS epidural moms.  He had
always been taught not to give to a nursing mom.  I presented the Briggs
information regarding this.  He went to the PDR and it states it is
contraindicated.  His case, if this went to court that the attorney's would
go to the PDR and use it as the ultimate word and find him liable.  I stated
that all the experts world wide use this information and Tom Hale's book and
I believe it would stand up in court as expert documentation since they have
researched the effects of these drugs.  Am I barking up the wrong tree here
or not any help would be appriciated.  I use these two sources all the time
(Briggs/Hale) and never the PDR.  TIA
