It is hard to deal with double standards. I watched infection control tear strips off a nurse for not doing up the upper tie on a protective gown to go into an isolation room with a water jug, then, moments later she watched silently as Dr S went into the same room, no gown, no gloves. He sat down, laid the chart on the patients bedside table while he tore down a dressing. He then walked out of the room without washing his hands and made notes in the chart. No hand washing prior to inspecting the wound either. This was a surgeon!!!!. I asked infection control why she didn't go after him for violating policy and was informed that policy does not apply to doctors as they are contracted for services and not employees. crazy making stuff

50 ml gravol IM for a 96 year old 75lb patient. He refused to change the order so I brought him a 60cc syringe, all the gravol in stock and told him he would have to do it himself.
