It sounds like this rotation is going to be very busy and stressful.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506026496063245730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401963344047459446.post-13470171083808763842009-04-21T13:40:00.000-04:002009-04-21T13:40:00.000-04:00Ortho is always busy.

Seems I always wait at least 40 minutes past my appointments, on a good day.<br /><br /> We always tell the new cardiology residents, if you don't want us to call you in the middle of the night, don't admit a patient for pain control and not order pain meds, don't put a patient on a nitro drip and not order tylenol for the headache, always order something for the bowels because you can bet at 2300 the patient will become fixated on their lack of a BM and drive the nurses nuts thus insuring a call after the 900 time he or she has called out. I do feel sorry for the one who carries the bomb though. At least no one calls me when I'm sleeping. You all deserve medals.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465859477203553281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401963344047459446.post-21390099859592187122009-04-21T00:50:00.000-04:002009-04-21T00:50:00.000-04:00(thanks for your kind comment Veronica on my journ...(thanks for your kind comment Veronica on my journal; that was very sweet of you)<br /><br />Orthopedics I think must see the most patients in a day second perhaps to Pediatrics. I remember years ago when I worked in offices, the office manager at the time in the cardiology practice we both worked for, used to work in Orthopedics. She said the first few days really had her so confused with over bookings, squeezing patients in, long waits, lots of paperwork, x-rays, etc. She learned to like working there but it did take a bit to get used to. Seems like the same could be true for this rotation of yours:)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
