2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1high dose Explanation: Or even "exceptionally high dose". The literal translation, "shock dose", was used in medical literature many decades ago but not anymore. Anna's variant, loading/initial dose, is one of the cases when a high dose is administered, but it does not match your context. Here, it's just a high dose warranted by the severity of the condition. For prednisone, the most typical condition requiring an exceptionally high dose is a circulatory shock, or possibly a situation when the patient in a critical condition needs to be transported for much longer than usual (e.g. rough terrain and no helicopter). Similarly, patients in prolonged severe pain (cancer, extensive burns, etc.) may require (and will easily tolerate) a dose of opiates that is otherwise considered lethal.
