   And thanks for the advice. But it most certainly wasnt the issue. Its just the way the doctor responded, not the way i spoke to him. Regardless, thanks for the advice and ill keep that in mind even more so next time i speak with anyone.

   I agree it had rambling but that does not reflect the way i spoke to the doctor. Thanks for pointing things out. But this doctor does have a reputation regardless of which nurse calls. He hasnt yelled at only me, but others as well.

    2016New replied to 2016New's topic in General Nursing

    Oh. I did tell her. I mentioned I haven't been up there in a while and to let me know if there's anything I'm missing or needing. I'm not ashamed to ask got help when needed. Patients lives at risk.
