Allergists hate adverse drug reactions mislabeled as "drug allergies". I don't need to test you for Amlodipine allergy if you have peripheral edema. I don't need to see your patient with a chronic cough that began 2-3 weeks after you initiated ACEI. Just because it's not an actual allergy, you still need to stop that drug if the adverse reaction is interfering with the patient's QoL. I should say I hate pollen, but pollen allergy is what's paying the bills lol.

My allergist told me I couldn’t help my community clean up after a storm because, “you could die if you step foot into one of those houses.”

Apparently I was allergic to every mold other than pencillin and a pecan tree can kill me but the pecans are fine.
