Oops

I feel so inadequate right now. A pt I had sent to the er last Friday was dx with a uti per er md. Today all of the er report came back and I missed the page that showed no growth on the urine. Meanwhile mom called stating the child would not take the bactrim. I left a message with the nurse to call mom with some suggestions on how to get the colds med in her. Then the other md comes past her desk sees the message goes thru the labs sees the neg ua cx puts a note on the chart places it back on my desk with a note I think you can stop the abx the cx was neg. Of course I went and thanked him he said no problem but I feel so well stupid

    stuff happens. I doc I know reamed a mom about her poor parenting skills b/c her child refused medicine. Everyone has off days, you, me, that doc, that mom, that kid (!), lol. hang in there. I'm only a few months behind you. I'm going to go through a painful growth period too, I'm sure. We'll be ok.

    And he is not my supervising md and I worry that he will think I am incompetent even though he said no problem

    You are human! And you will encounter mistakes that the docs make as well.... Everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes, even the Doctors (contrary to popular belief...)
