the 100% directionless thread

Hmm....so a new policy memo came out yesterday stating that we are now required to "document the Attending Physicians name at the ER" with directions to ask the receiving RN for their name......yeah every single one of our local hospitals we've been to today have balked and flat out refused...usually for some sort of "privacy" or "liability" issues. This is gonna be interesting...

Find the big white board on the wall in the ED, and pick an attending? I usually pick my least favorite on the board (half kidding).

The bummer is it's a straight trade so the only OT is the 4 hours of CME. The 5 days off before this little run was nice though.

How is that a liability or privacy concern? Color me confused...anyway. California, you just keep on California'ing.
 
We have something similar. If I give a controlled drug, I have to have a doc's signature on the med form that goes to the pharm. (doesn't matter if they gave me orders or it was standing orders) I usually just walk up to where the doc is sitting, stuff my iPad under his/her nose and say, "sign this." Most of them have no idea what they're signing, why their signing it, who I am or which patient I brought in.

More ridiculous policy that means nothing.

Well its 1330, I've been off shift since 0700 and I'm still sitting in station....why? Because my dumbass left my truck key in the ambulance before the oncoming crew took an early 0630 call and haven't been back at station since -_-

Which is why my truck keys are attached via carabiner to my backpack.

9 times out of 10 when I walk into station in the morning I put my keys in my locker. The remaining times I've never had a problem being up and grabbing my stuff at shift change.....but yesterday when I showed up at 0630 and they were dispatching our unit to a call, and I simply walked out to the rig without stopping at my locker (since I show up in full uniform and with my gear needed to do just that) and I put my key in the door cubby so as not to risk it falling pit somewhere on the streets on Compton. Cut to last night where we had all of 1 hour of sleep (was on a run from 0100 to 0530) so I was complete zombie mode when the new crew took off for their own 0630 run its morning and they haven't been back to station since ><

I was just starting to think I have a couple spare keys at home! Not programmed (that's expensive lol) but can still manually unlock and drive my truck (I had to do that last year for a bit lol) so u was thinking maybe I'll stick the spare in my bag too... of course as soon as I do this I'll never forget my key in the rig again lol
