still just thinking about how the radiologist last night read this patient’s nipple piercings as “bilateral nipple ornamentation”

RN calls me to verify non-emergent med that was ordered <2 min ago and I *know* I’ve already verified it. I’ll say “huh, I don’t see anything in my verify queue, has it already been verified?” Just so the call wastes the RN’s time just like it has mine.

Is this bad?

@RyanMarino It's only a fentanyl overdose if it comes from the ingestion region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling anxiety

@TheLubify I just don’t have time to put up decorations, lights, etc this season - so nothing really to promote the Xmas “mood” 😔

Pharmacists will look you dead in the eye and pretend we know how to taper steroids.

@sassypharm LOL welcome to overnights… trial by fire

[SIG: work hard play hard @nERd_PharmD]

@sassypharm I went to management as a last resort. I often played the “this is what’s best for the patient and I thus I will not change my mind” card and that seemed to be effective. Sometime reminding them there is a patient involved gets the result

[SIG: work hard play hard @nERd_PharmD]

@sassypharm Yeah sometimes the older techs didn’t listen to me but I didn’t take “no” for an answer. I would listen ti and acknowledge their rationale but then respond with my rationale and expectations. If they still have pushback I escalated to management.
