  2. AMA Looks to Retrain Doctors on Taking Blood Pressures

    For years I only did b/p checks with a dinamap. I got confused listening to manual readings, the different korotcov/korotcoff sounds when I was required to start checking them this way. I did practices online thru Youtube to retrain myself. IF som...

  4. Medication

    The employers response sound a little extreme. It seems straight forward, that you tell someone apply this cream to the patient's...I may have asked myself. Was there a barrier in the communication, language? And as was already pointed out, was th...
  5. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    I sympathize with your feelings. Having any surgery is scary and must have been a very emotional experience, no family around, etc. And having an unexpected hysterectomy, especially for someone of child bearing years, or not, can be devastating. ...

    The narcotics need to be tracked. If the signature is for ongoing/off going you would sign appropriately for where you are in the shift. Don't accidentally sign in slot that was left blank by someone else. By signing at the end of shift with the nu...
  8. Ghosts of the ER (Clerks)

    I work in an ED, and have a good relationship with registration. We do annoy each other at times. And yes, they do collect co-pays and give the option to pay now or later. Overall, basically my goal in life is to get to the patient before registra...

  11. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    Personally, I do believe the OP did their best. Sometimes when reading the Original post, you don't have all the facts. And it is easy to miss some details when they are revealed later in f/u posts. When I read the original post, it sounded like t...
  12. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    @Tweety When I was on the floor the Hospitalist was part of the team, but teams vary at different facilities. Not sure now who is on our team, I'll have to ask.

  14. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    @Susie2310: I have to agree with most of what you said (in the above post) I didn't think about it from the daughter's perspective. The daughter was way out line in how she communicated her concerns. Her behavior was inappropriate. I think the OP d...
