FIRST
The MLE team discussed this language, and we have some general thoughts/questions. We think it’s important to include “Pain Medicine and Constipation language (PMCL)” in procedure docs since constipation can lead to dangerous complications like reopening of an incision. However, we did battle whether or not it is appropriate to include PMCL in diagnosis docs. This is because constipation is a side effect of the medicine, but not the particular diagnosis that the document is about. Therefore, this information could seemingly stray away from the focus of the title, and then where do we stop? We do have the document “Pain Medicine Instructions” that talks about stool softener use (which probably should be renamed to “What You Need
