I'm wondering if anyone has encountered experienced doctors who will never change their orders, even after you explain to them why and how their orders are inappropriate - nicely, courteously, reasonably, of course.
And inexperienced doctors - how do you deal with their orders? I find that they're usually too stubborn, embarrassed, whatever to listen to a nurse. But one that I remember vividly was, it seemed, inattentive to the patients, busy with too many irons in the fire in his personal life, and inexperienced to boot. Not a good combination. That one always got angry when nurses asked questions - even if you couldn't quite understand the order and were only asking for clarity so you could carry it out.
Any examples?
