@DrDiGiorgio Frivolous requests aside, the age of physicians-as-deities is over, man.
All true things:
1. Your time is important
2. Interruptions lead to mistakes
3. The nurse is an asshole for said request
4. Physicians do not need gatekeepers for APPROPRIATE communication with the team
@RossCSchumacher My libertarian streak shutters but I think an Australian-like system might be best for catastrophic care. Gov funded with ability to purchase private supplementary coverage for private hospitals. Everything else? HSA/direct costs with direct gov supplements for the poor
@AdaminIrbid@ZaidJilani I wasn’t speaking in favor of government intervention. The situation/market essentially created an environment where everyone was employed and people then put money back into the government to keep it afloat. It’s not a tenable long term solution
@DrDiGiorgio My refrain to anyone in admin is: imagine doing your job on a daily basis. Now add 3 extra seconds to each individual task. See how you feel if someone wants you to add a fourth.

@ZaidJilani@AriFleischer You’re one of the most even keeled and moderate commenters on 99% of issues. Israel and Arab world matters are your 1%. Your objectivity is most definitely clouded.
