Hi everyone,
I was curious to see if any of you are at a residency does bedside rounds. At my place, we usually round as a team walking by each bed and giving a short sign out while noting the vitals, but not much else. I am curious to see if any of you are at a residency program that the entire team goes into the room, examines and discusses the patient and updates them about what the team sees and expects in terms of ongoing work up.
I know that this is not appropriate for every patient, aka the malingerer or pill seeker, but for a lot of other patients, like the one waiting for the VQ scan or one waiting for CT to identify source of obstruction etc . . . it is.
So anyway, do any of your programs do bedside rounds and teaching, and what do you like or dislike about it?
