Ms. Fought is a 50-year-old female with a history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, and diabetes who presented with right knee swelling, redness, and pain and was admitted to the Emergency Department. She was given therapeutic doses of heparin because of the concern of pain, as well as IV fluids, Oxycodone 5 mg to 10 mg p.o. q.4h. p.r.n. pain, Tylenol 650 mg p.o. q.4h. p.r.n. pain, Ibuprofen 600 mg q.6h. p.r.n. pain, Klonopin 1 mg p.o. at bedtime, Levofloxacin 500 mg p.o. daily for six days after the day of discharge, and NSAIDs, and was prescribed Lisinopril 10 mg daily, Lipitor 40 mg daily, Klonopin, MetroGel p.o. at bedtime, Lithium 900 mg at bedtime, Acebutolol 200 mg daily, and Risperdal 0.5 mg at bedtime, with no known drug allergies. She responded well to normal saline fluid boluses for a total of 3 liters over her hospital course, and was treated with Unasyn and vancomycin, and then switched to levofloxacin, with six more days after discharge from the hospital. Her bradycardia was resolved either over beta blockade or lithium toxicity, for which her beta-blocker was held and her lithium was also held, resulting in an improved heart rate in the 50s and 60s. Upon discharge, she was given instructions to draw blood for lithium level checks daily until it is below 0.5, at which time, she should be restarted on lithium 300 mg p.o. at bedtime, and to follow up with her primary care physician, Dr. Aurelio Gilberto Hencheck at Li County Hospital.
