Hi all,
I'm so upset right now, just get off work. Here the situation: My patient was admitted yesterday with possible TIA, she was confused yesterday however she is very alert and oriented. She has very poor appetite and has vomitted 2 times with undigested food. Her sodium is 120 and she on sodium tab three times/day (yesterday her sodium was 121). Anyway I called Dr and inserted Dobhoff per order. I did explain to my pt before I put the dobhoff. Her daughter-inlaw (she is family practice) came and not happy with the dobhoff. she said why I didn't talk to her before put it It doesn't take that long to phone her. I answered because she throw up and Dr concerned about pt nutrition so we insert dobhoff for tube feeding. I also told her that I can page Dr and let she talk with him but she refuse to she said it's too late I already torture her mother. I did page Dr and inform that she is not happy, Dr chew me up on the phone and didn't let me finish. I gave the phone to daughter and let them talk. I didn't stay in the room and listen. I am so upset right now I am in tear when I am typing. Am I doing the right thing? What should I do if I face with this situation???
Thanks alot for letting me vent.
