So I was just wondering how it's like for everyone else, but signing out is a huge pain in the ass for me. There are a couple of attendings in my group that are a little too "nosy" in the patient I'm signing out if that makes any sense. I sort of trust in myself that if there's something the other attending needs to know about my patient then I will tell him or her. I want to get to the point of each patient and then be done and move on, not to be asked a ton of questions. When I receive sign out from other attendings I don't overly dwell on the case at hand nor do they offer anymore info. and I'm fine with that.
Is there a way I should be signing out my patients to sort of forceably avoid going too in depth? To play my own devil's advocate I understand that asking more q's at sign out can only better pt. care but I'm confident enough in myself to tell only what needs to be told. I'm confident in the other attendings as well. Am I being overly dramatic or do other people here sometimes have the same problem?
