I always wondered...

It's very dangerous for me and K to share an office. We enable one another.

Me: What the hell is lactated Ringer's solution anyway? It shows up everywhere. One of these days I'm gonna have to find out.
K: You should!
Me: I'll ask A.
K: Look it up! Look it up on the Internet!

So I did.

LACTATED RINGER'S SOLUTION (Ringer's lactate)	Inj.: 500 mL and 1 L bottle (IV infusion)
Composition:
Na+	130 mmol/L
K+	4 mmol/L
Ca++	3 mmol/L
Cl-	109 mmol/L
Lactate	28 mmol/L

(Hm, this is actually much more helpful.)

it's pretty much saline solution, but lactated ringers sounds better.

My friend Mable is a Rescue Squad (or whatever the heck that show is called, Rampart something) junkie. And she's not even 'murrican!
