Opioids are not weight based dosed for adults. Typically pain protocols start at fixed doses based on prior opioid use and titrate up for effect.

Also was this a bug in Epic proper or a site specific customization?

OK, so my example is flawed, but the scenario remains valid. I was going off charts like https://nursing.duke.edu/sites/default/files/documents/SCD-O...

I don't know anything about the bug other than my provider who I'd communicated and demonstrated the behavior to came back to me confirming that it was a real bug and was being fixed.
