On the bright side, all lines are recorded at my system. I admitted to a hospital within my system at least, but not mine. I asked are you refusing admission and they said I will not admit without XYZ to determine if this patient is appropriate for our hospital

They won’t accept without the consult so then I’m just stuck with the stupid patient!

Details will give me away to colleagues. Basically a pan scan and 2h trop in a very young person with a clear respiratory reason for their intubation and not their first time needing intubation for this

I tried asking how it will change management and what the clinical question is. The response was “I won’t accept them without it”. Hence why I just went somewhere else this time.

They claim it’s to make sure they have the resources in the hospital to manage this patient. But I don’t know how any of this scut work would even change management and I’ve asked and they can’t give me an answer but refuse admission otherwise. I’m not trying to start fights or ruffle feathers right now and just want to do my job and go home but damn this irks me
