Has anyone else heard dopamine ordered for incoming emergency room patients in medical TV shows, such as "ER"? It seems to be a routine order, and I wondered, if it is given to actual patients in an ER setting, what effect does it have? And how does it work? Perhaps I should never watch another medical TV show (probably not a bad idea). Conversely, I could call Dr. Dean Edell... Thanks. A.
