Well....the one that tops all the other requests for me was more of a demand than an actual request by a family member. We admitted individual after being found "down" at home in a sea of vomit, stool and other equally appetizing bodily fluids. The family member wanted to know which one of us was going to go to their house and clean up the mess - a couple of days after the fact. Uh.....they have crime scene clean up crews for that if you don't want to do it yourself. Lol... they didn't want to have to pay for that.

That's called disinterested and lazy. Yes, there are some docs out there that write orders like that. Irritating. Same thing applies to post PCI pts that have serial Trop's ordered with do not call results ordered. Why bother to get the lab when you know it's going to be elevated and don't want to hear about it. Waste of resources at the very least.
