How, How?

Why like that?

1) Consultant says 6 weeks light duty for guy with stress #. Kindly gave him 2 weeks MC with 6 weeks light duty.. Instead got threatened by guy's father that he will sue if patient falls down during light duty and shouted so that whole ward can hear him... Finally consultant consulted again and 6 weeks MC given to appease father.. Why like that?

2) Have to book High D bed.. HO cannot book, need anaesthetic registrar.. Informed anaes registrar then afterwhich called High D to confirm booking, got scolded for calling them and say should call anaes reg to check instead. Next day receive call from anaes.. "Have you checked if patient has high D bed???"

"!!!!!!!!!!!?????????"

Called high D to check, finally got bed.. called anaes to confirm bed. got told "ya we anaes book the beds but the team should check with high D if got bed.." Why like that?

3) Patients just went for DVT scan.. MO told me to review scan results. "Call me if there's anything.. but you know what's going to happen right? you tell me patient got DVT then i tell you to refer haemato then haemato will tell you to anticoagulate if no contraindications then you tell team what haemato tell you then team will tell you to start treatment.."
Ya.. even though everyone knows how to anticoagulate, backsides must be covered... Why like that?


But on the whole still like working more than studying... feel more satisfaction when patients are better and discharged. Also got to insert a steinman pin.. scary at first but real satisfying after the procedure.. Just hoping no pin track infection..
