This was a swift kick to the balls. Nurses and hospitalists who are extremely smart know how to get what they want from podiatry
This is 1000% true. Even more embarrassing when you’re clipping said patient’s nails and ortho walks by to check on the same patient.
Had this happen. Double consulted for "red swollen toe with wound concern for infection". Paged us after double consulting us. Turns out it was just nails. Patient didn't even know why we were there.
If you want the nail consults to stop just bring your goniometer with you and conduct biomechanical exams in the hallway on bedbound patients.
That’s part of the physical exam right?
Nurses will shut down those bs consults quick once they know you’re the only one conducting gait exams.
On a side note - does anyone know the RCSP of a prosthetic leg?
This is honestly not right. Meaning you could report this with the hospital for fraud.Had this happen. Double consulted for "red swollen toe with wound concern for infection". Paged us after double consulting us. Turns out it was just nails. Patient didn't even know why we were there.
The other day I had somebody ask if I would come do it as an outpatient because they lived far away and didn't want to make a special trip as an outpatient. I said no and you also do not need to come see me as an outpatient either.This is honestly not right. Meaning you could report this with the hospital for fraud.
I'm at a relatively big hospital. We don't do toenails ever inpatient. Yet they continue to consult us for them. Myself and my partners routinely refuse this. You don't have to go.

How Lobsters See, and How Lobster Eyes Work
Lobsters can see through your clothes? Not really. But lobsters do have special eyes that enable them to see in low light 300 feet below the ocean surface.lobsteranywhere.com
Surprisingly interesting short article on lobster eyes
Well then Washington will win since they are real football players, not Juco transfers.
