I'm sooooo tired of having to call the doctor to clarify things or get orders for other disciplines. The pharmacist doesn't like the order, so I call the MD, have to argue with the MD to get it changed. Radiology doesn't like how an x-ray is ordered, I have to call the MD to get it changed. Or even better, when MDs refuse to call each other. "Dr. x wants this." Dr. Y: "Why?" Me: I don't know. Dr. Y: Well call Dr. x and then call me back.
What sent me over the edge recently. Respiratory therapist wants an order for a breathing treatment. Refuses to call, so I call. Get the order. Hang up. The RT then complains to me about letting the MD order the dose ordered because it's a big dose. IF YOU WANTED A PARTICULAR DOSE THEN YOOOOUUUUU SHOULD HAVE CALLED!
