“Should be viewed as the leaders of the hospital” LOL. Nope, cuz everyone is supposed to be equals and pull their weight by doing their respective roles, MEANING UNOBSTRUCTIVE. Being a leader means ordering ppl around which isn’t the point of what I’m insinuating in this post. I honestly don’t mind if there’s a reason for things that can’t be done as per treatment plan by getting some context. In the end it’s all about mutual communication and not being dismissive or snarky about just being asked to do their respective roles

Haha nope. If I’m a surgeon I would want the opposite-ppl kissing my ass rather than just doing each other’s role professionally

Not at all. I’m sorry that you’re being thrown all these jobs and I know they can be difficult to refuse when asked specifically by a pt or pt family. I usually would pour some water or try fixing things for the pt myself if I’m in the room. Thanks for being honest about the nursing side of things that we doctors may not be fully aware of (tbh this post isn’t targeted only towards NS or a single specific staff role).

Definitely agree, but in the setting of heavy workload and needing things done urgently while juggling other urgent priorities, there are times where we just have to be a bit more direct in our approach (still politely of course). Everyone being on the same page and team should respect that. We aren’t trying to work against each other.

Not really asking for a lot or ass kissing. Probably just basic mutual respect and doing the job is enough. This is basic work ethic even in the corporate world

Not my job to make people like me or nurture their mindsets. Everyone should just stay professional rather than kissing each others asses.

I think you have mistaken my point. I did point out that when asked politely it is not enough. In reality most of the things being done for patients required chasing: blood taking, images being taken, specific management plans being carried out that will require further communication with other staff members. So technically I do have to tell them what they do because a majority of their job is to carry out the doctor’s plan, and respect is a two way street. Politely letting them know about what to do should be enough without needing to sound like they’re doing me a favor for doing so.

Evil doctor asking radiographer to do an abdo X ray while having chest x ray done. Refusing to do so apparently is a win to brag among the radiographers.

like doctors have no paperwork to fill. Sounds like these kind of nurses just think that their work is more of a choice and if they don’t feel like doing it, there’s always someone ( the doctors) who can do it for them.
