   ultrarunner replied to ultrarunner's topic in General Nursing

   Yes the CE just want to make sure we're covering our A. But...have I done something else to ellicit a better response from the MD? Actually my default assumption was the doc was still busy. I'm thinking next time I should asked him in a better way.....
