Trying to decide weather or not to go to HR. There's a dr at work that seems to be for lack of a better term "picking on me". I've been in critical care for almost 30 years, had my share of A## Dr's, I can get in the face of the best of them. If I did something wrong I have no problem. But when does it become harassment ?
First I attempted to have a conversation with him about a chest pain that was 6 min late getting to cath lab (because we were waiting on cath lab) , he and admin seem to think we should go over and wait with a nurse and intern in the lab until they arrive (that would have been 40 min), the pt had fire hat st's. I understand the cath is what is going to fix him but at that point the pt was better off in the er until cath lab arrived, it's only a 1 min walk down the hall . My point was it's the process that needs improved. Pluse the fact that the attending and resident on nights didn't feel it was safe for the pt to wait without an attending at bed side (and I agree) but the er director doesn't.
Then, there was a mix up in a prescription that I had presented to the resident b4 the pt left. The lady called back mad. of course the director took the call. He told the pt that he was sorry for
the" poor care "that she rec. from the nurse and intern and she could bet he would rip out "butts " for that. I was sitting beside him when he was talking to her. I told him that the resident said he wanted the script the way it was written. He said very curtley, " I told her I would discuss it with you, did I just discuss it with you ? I said that depends on what you consider a discussion. He threw the chart in a pile walked off. Then we did a counsious sedation. The surgical res. asked for 150 of Fent and 5 of versed. I took 200 and 10 with me. It was a chest tube insertion. During the proc the pt moaned and by the time we were done we gave her
375 mcg of fent. (by order of the director that stood there the entire time) I keept having to send another nurse for more. He said, we are doing a procedural consious sedation here and u only brought 200 mcg of fent and gave me "THE LOOK ". A few other just minor but very annoying things happen over the next couple day. I'm really sick of it.
AM I being over sensative or is he "Picking on Me "? Oh, he isn't treating other nurses like this. (he's always a pain but this is out of the ordinary and seem to be inteded for me) Not sure why cause I consider my self a very good nurse. (bad at spelling but a good nurse) and have been told that by numerous dr's. (not trying to toot my horn , I'm just saying I can play well with others) Oh my.....any ideas or words of wisdom ? Oh and while I'm at it
doesn't 375 mcg of Feynt seem like a lot ?
Would you like to comment?
