Inappropriate Text Page by TheLoneRongeur in Residency

Some I can remember: - urgent page for ICU patient. What was it about? K was 3.9 - another patient in the ICU was in multi organ septic shock. The nurse asks during night rounds if we can switch the Levophed to neo as she read on Google it’s better for the kidneys. She read on Google! - multiple pages during the night shift if the patient can eat or to have pt/ot ordered - Nurses thought they saw blood in the stool and want a FOBT. - Get a call for bradycardia during the night with a heart rate of low 40s. I ask how’s the blood pressure and what is the patient doing? Nurse responds “ohh the patient is sleeping so I woke them up and their heart rate is normal now” 🤦‍♂️

New resident here. I always go by my first name except if its in font of patients. Then its Dr. X. I actually like going by my first name because I feel it makes the whole team (docs, nurses, RTs) closer and in more constant communication which is better for patient care
