Contrary to popular thought, '''Lasix''' (generic is furosemide) is not a water pill: it is a pill of '''Lasix''' or it could be an IV of '''Lasix''' too. Not only does '''Lasix''' diurese congested patients, it diureses congested patient lists too.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/08/list-diuresis/ Doctor Diureses List with 80 mg of Lasix, Net Negative 14 Patients (Gomerblog)]</ref> At high enough doses, Lasix can cause urination from the eyes, sweat glands, vagina, and rectum.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2018/01/lasix-urinating-eyeballs/ After Being Given 200 mg of IV Lasix, Patient Urinating from Eyeballs (Gomerblog)]</ref>
There are 3 accepted formulas used to determine how much Lasix to administer to any given patient:
# '''[http://gomerblog.com/quizzes/laws-of-the-house-of-god/ The House of God Lasix Formula]''' - Law VII states that age + BUN = '''Lasix''' dose.# '''The Cr40 Formula''' - This formula states that creatinine x 40 = '''Lasix''' dose.# '''The Cardiorenal Formula''' - Since Renal and Cards are forever dueling, the last formula is merely the average of the Renal and Cards doses i.e. Renal dose + Cards dose divided by 2 = '''Lasix''' dose.  '''More from ''The House of God"'''----* [[Bounce Back]]* [[Diuresis]]* [[Number Two]]* [[Placement]]* [[Snap, Crackle, and Pop]]* [[Three-by-Five Index Card]]* [[Turf]]* [[Water Pill]]* [[Water Seal]]
# '''The Cr40 Formula''' - This formula states that creatinine x 40 = '''Lasix''' dose.
# '''The Other FormulaReferences''' --- This last formula states that Lasix 80 +/- whatever Renal says +<references /- whatever Cards says = '''Lasix''' dose.>
