or how about, if you don't do so and so, or give me this or that, Im going to change to a different hospice. I hear that alot esp. from nursing home employees.......if you don't start cc, we are going to change, we don't have time to give the med every 2 hours.
This is my biggest pet peeve! I've had nursing homes ask if we were going to start CC when the patient was still alert, talking, eating and drinking with perfectly normal vitals. Seriously? Sometimes I just want to scream stop being so lazy and do your job! Arrgghh!!!
