I would hope there is something else, rather than just look at someone’s chart that you took care of a week ago.
“I ordered a test, I forgot the check the result...”
“I am considering writing a case report.”
“Dr. Consultant asked me about her patient....”
Especially for resident at a teaching hospital....? I find it little hard to comprehend.
OP, I am not sure how far along are you in your training/practice. There are plenty of times maybe I would not consider a drug, but it’s either local culture or some other forces that you don’t know about, that can prevent that. Isn’t adaptation of new drugs/procedure/intervention usually take more than 10 years?
I’ve always thought amiodarone is a dirty drug.... and multaq was going to replace it.. this was a while ago, when I was in training. My current hospital, I swear everyone is on it for their cardiac problems.
Unless they’re harming the patient right there and then, there isn’t much you can do. Talk to people who are in charge/above you and the other person. Talk to your colleague, who is on the patient’s case now.
However, the scenario can be more complicated if you’re a locum/traveler/part timer vs a mid-level.
