I try my best not to rant and rave about work on here. Who really cares about my job? I am sure you don't. However I beleive that the public should be aware of how much of a jackass most doctors are. People often don't realize how bad doctors treat their co-workers and how often A nurse has to go to bat for u. 2 make a long story short, my patient, we will call X was very sick. I called Dr.Ass to let him know that his pt.X condition was not good. Dr.Ass's solution? Send X to the emergency room. Well this is all fine however, most people at a certain age and circumstance, choose to stay at their home and die in peace. This was patient X case. As I explained this to Dr.Ass and that I only called to possibly have a order to give X something to make them more comfortable (such as pain medication, oxygen etc.) Dr.Ass says: "Well my medical opinon is that x should go the emergency room and if x does not want to do this that is x's decision" WHAT????!!! Wouldn't it have been easier to say yeah, give x some oxygen. I tell ya if I had been in the same room as Dr.Ass i would have put him in a choke hold until he begged for oxygen, and then I would matter of factly say, sorry gonna have to go to the emergency room for that, yes I know I have some here, but a trip would be much better for your dying ass.
