really gross doctor

[aye caramba]

what do you guys think of this. today i dropped a vitamin on the floor at the hospital during a med pass. the doctor picked it up and ordered me to give it to the patient!! he said it hadn't been on the floor for 5 seconds so it would be ok. he saw me stop it from rolling away with my shoe and thought it was ok! i threw the pill out and he got very angry and said you just wasted a pill. i then shouted back" are you paying for it?" the patient got upset and said this doc must think i'm a dog that eats off the floor.

Good for you. That is just disgusting behavior by the doctor.

That is so gross. The things that must grow on a hospital floor. I liken Arwen's idea!!!!!

Personally, I utilize the 10 second rule, but I guess to each their own.

I can't help but wonder about this story. I've never met a doctor who gave rat's behind about how meds were passed, if a pill got wasted, etc. In fact, I've never met one who even paid attention to such things.

Of course,we all know doctors are above such foolishness.
