Okay
@Groove.
You know I love you, man.
The one thing that drives me nuts is illegible "cursive doctor font".
I have said to other physicians: if you can't master handwriting, then repeat 2nd grade.
True story:
/b/
be me.
3rd year med student.
Gen.surg rotation.
Everyone says that the surgeons are walking poison, just looking for the next med student to abuse because they're on their little powertrip.
Pre-rounding at 5am? Lol.
I say "anything that can be done at 5am can ALSO be done at 7am, when people are awake and functional".
D*ckhead gen.surgeon overhears this and spouts off at me, marks me for execution.
Try reading the notes. This was back when there were paper charts, kids.
D*ckhead tries pimping me on pre-op labs, or post-op labs, or whatever, idc.
"WHAT IS THE PATIENT'S WHITE COUNT?"
"I don't know"
"WHAT POST-OP DAY IS IT?"
"I dont' know"
"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PATIENTS??! DID YOU READ THE CHART?!?!"
"Yes."
"WELL WHY DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING THEN?!?!"
"I don't read arabic."
"I DIDN'T WRITE THE CHART IN ARABIC !!!!!"
"You didn't?"
/mfw I'm in somebody's office, explaining calmly what happened. I honestly thought it was arabic.
D*ckhead writes a scathing letter about me to the dean, gives it to his secretary, and asks her to mail it to my school's dean.
/mfw his secretary calls me in the office, explains the instructions she was given, and then puts the letter thru the shredder in front of me.
She says: "You're the only one to stand up to his abuse. I'm not punishing you for doing the right thing."
