We had the same problem with toradol being on a
preprinted sheet for use only with non-nursing
mothers. When I brought it up, I was told that the
anesthesia dept had been approached multiple times
about changing it, unsuccessfully each time. A doctor
at the hospital whose wife was my patient told me that
the concern was "risk of bleeding."
