new grad. started working about 8 months ago. slowly getting to know doctors.
two times ive had to contact a doctor. i work night shift. both times i called and it wasnt past 10 pm.
first time, missing order that the dr or arnp needed to put in. Second tine, change in patient condition and seeing if he wanted any orders done.
Both times, i went through my charge nurse before calling the doctor.
Whether or not i was a nurse was questioned, dr threatened to call my supervisor, and stated that i may be the one who needs to be on medication, not the patient.
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH DOCTORS LIKE THIS? fyi, the doctor is known to react like this for basically anything. all the nurses on the floor know this... i understand every doctor is different, personalities.i was professional in speaking to him and never raised my voice or anything of that sort.
