◗ Re: "Guns in the Healthcare Workplace" (August, page 7). As health-
care workers, we do all sorts of things to ensure the safety of our
patients, yet for some reason we fail to protect them on a basic level
of securing their safety while they're in our centers. I have my con-
cealed carry and do not hesitate to carry on my off time. However,
due to restrictions at work, I have to leave my weapon elsewhere. I
consider myself and my co-workers to be sitting ducks just waiting to
be picked off by someone who holds a grudge for any reason. It
would be nice to let them know prior to entering the facility that
someone may be shooting back!

Warning: 'Someone May Be Shooting Back'
For the Record
◗ Tri-Moxi and/or Tri-Moxi+Vanc are the names of
the compounded proprietary formulations that oph-
thalmologists inject into the vitreous during drop-
less cataract surgery. We misidentified the drug
names in "Dropless" Cataract Surgery — Will it
Work? (August, p. 42). Tri-Moxi has 1 antibiotic
(moxifloxacin hydrochloride). Tri-Moxi+Vanc has
2 antibiotics (moxifloxacin hydrochloride and van-
comycin). The steroid in both compounded formu-
lations is triamcinolone acetonide.
