Rude Doctor!
Mar 01, 2010
written by ohioRN09
So...here's what happened. I work a 7pm night shift at a large
hospital. I had to call a Dr. who was covering for another doctor for
the weekend. My patient was very sick and had some medicine ordered to
help with nausea that was not helping. At about 4:30 in the morning
she was feeling awful she said she needed another medicine because
that is what she takes at home when nothing else helps. Unfortunately,
she didn't tell us that when we were getting her home medicines
addressed earlier that day. So I called the covering Doctor to get an
order. When I called he cussed, gave me the order, cussed some more,
told me not to call him again and hung up the phone. I was really mad
but glad that I at least got the patient what she needed. I didn't
really "forgive" him but I just continued with my night and went on.
Then when I went back to work they told me that he was complaining
about the phone call to other nurses the next day! This is ridiculous
and we should not have to deal with this kind of stuff!!!

Doctors Are The Third Leading Cause of Death in the US, Causing
225,000 Deaths Every Year
This article was published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
This information is a followup of the Institute of Medicine report
which hit the papers in December of last year, but the data was hard
to reference as it was not in peer-reviewed journal. Now it is
published in JAMA which is the most widely circulated medical
periodical in the world.
The author is Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of
Hygiene and Public Health and she desribes how the US health care
system may contribute to poor health
"I am convinced that of all quackeries, the physician's is the
grotesquest & the silliest. And they know they are shams & humbugs.
They have taken the place of those augurs who couldn't look each other
in the face without laughing..... It seems a stupid idea to keep a
student 4 years in a medical college to merely learn how to guess -
and guess wrong. If ever I am deadly ill I hope you will stand by me
and bar out the doctors and let me die a natural death..... Doctors do
know so little and they do charge so much for it."
--- Mark Twain
