Pretty funny! Disposition and discharge answers are quite understandable when you consider the intern being young, nervous, cocky, and impulsive on his first week.
When my dad was in the hospital, the nurses were so awesome with little 8 year old me. They actually took the time and wrote notes for each of my beanie babies I had "admitted" (I taped them up, one was in a cookie box with a napkin sheet and a Hi-C juice box straw as a ventilator). They wrote things like "[the bunny] is really pinking up today!" (It was a pink bunny) A couple of decades later and I will never forget what they did for me and him ❤
As a frequent customer...there is no discount but we do get privileges in other ways 😂 like knowing how to ask for things or what to ask for, the ability to troubleshoot our own IV machines, stuff like that
I totally believe some students are like that. We had one who was told not to carry acetone around in an open container because it evaporates. What did she do? She placed the open container on a table and thought everything was fine -_-
In the lab we learn to put our lab coat over it when walking around since its not that dangerous but the smell is jsut annoying. But generally dont walk with open chemicals and keep it under the fume hood
@@xAmendaaa It's not good for your nervous system. I liked to do my nails about every day for a while, and I actually felt my brain slow down. We have aluminum foil at the lab for the purpose. We re-use it, and otherwise keep things in the fumw hood
@@lollsazz thats why we just use lab coat to cover it. Thats good enough. if we do that we dont smell it. Tho there are always student who clean the beakers with aceton and dont dry them and then u get a wiff of it and its like ughhh. But now im thinking about it we never carry acetone around its usally ethanol. And if we are its usually those flask thingys
Boy do I get it! I will never forget when an intern walked into a patient's room that was an MI in progress and announced that she was his first patient ever. Both the patient and I said to get out. Everything turned out okay but we had to have a come to Jesus talk with him.
That being said whenever I see anything from any of the specialties working with my son they always make a point of saying what a happy nice boy with a good disposition.
Awwww. I remember these interns. It’s like a golden retriever puppy. Want to give them pets and they are SO EXCITED, but they also pee on the floor and chew your shoes.
As someone who is chronically ill and in the hospital I'd like to say interns are exactly like this. I've literally had to explain how to screw in the tube on my own iv for a blood draw
Oh my god, I feel this so hard... I always feel annoying for asking questions to have things spelled out for me, but I cease to function (out of embarrassment) whenever this happens. A little while ago, my boss asked me about my PTO and I just looked at him, lost. And I squeaked out "...whatispto?" PTO stands for "paid time off" for anyone that was like me and didn't know. 😅😅😅
Hahaha we had this policy in our school that the months before becoming an intern we have to ask the current interns what or what not to do, ignorance is not an excuse and we get eaten alive for not knowing.
I was a paramedic and precepted students. Another preceptor told their student that they needed to be more "personable" with pts when taking Hx's. Shortly after the student is interviewing a woman in her late 30s, and asks if she has any children. The pt says no, and the student tells her that if it's because she's infertile they have specialists for that and she could see one 😳🤯🤬. After transferring the pt the preceptor questions the student who defends themself by saying that Preceptor X told her to "be more personal" with pts 🤣🤣🤣
my favorite are the interns who call hematology demanding a peripheral smear. When I point out the manual differential is in the chart they snap that they want a peripheral smear…usually I let the Abbott and Costello go on a round or two before I explain.
"Disposition status: The status of the patient recorded at the conclusion of an Emergency Department (ED) or Urgent Care (UC) facility visit. Disposition status options included in this report are: - discharged home, - expired, - admitted to an inpatient bed, - transferred to another site, -left against medical advice or before discharge, and -left without being seen."
@@pterocardio What kinds of options might that include? This isn't something we use in the UK so I would answer like the intern if someone asked me this!.
Where is the patient going next? As the answer in the skit was, stay in icu on high oxygen then in 2 days to regular nursing floor.......you could say...what's the plan? But disposition also is used because hospitals want to know the movement plan or use of beds in the hospital over next 24hrs beyond just one patient, to know if they will have enough critical care beds open to do elective surgeries, handle traumas,. So there is patient discharge planning as mentioned in second half (about each patients plan), and plans for disposition of patients more meaning bed use in the hospital.
Soooo on top of being underpaid, overworked, overestimated, under appreciated, etc on top of everything you’re supposed to babysit interns? How do you even do it! You guys, seriously, thank you 🙏
I was an intern for the IT department, it was quite an experience. So many acronyms, so much jargon most hospital employees just assume you understand even though you don't have the right to use the software you install for them cause you aren't a doctor 😂
I'm a new nurse on an OB floor. I page the residents often if there are any problems with my patients. The other night I had admitted a baby, just a couple hours old, and noticed she was having retractions and nasal flaring which are signs of respiratory distress. The family medicine resident on call came to see her and I had the pulse ox on. She was hovering mid 80s. Normal for adults is 95-100. Babies after they're a couple hours old should be pretty close to that, or at least 92%. The resident just kind of stared at the pulse ox, stared at the baby, then looked at me with clearly no idea what to do lol. Then she asked if it is supposed to be 100 lol. Needless to say, we pulled NICU in to assess and she ended up going to nicu for meconium aspiration and needing high flow oxygen. It's funny how often the residents ask the nurses questions. I'm a brand new nurse so sometimes it's like that spider man meme where they're all pointing at each other because they're the doctor, they're supposed to make those decisions lol.
Hahaha. I'm not in a medical field, but at the interview for my very first job, the committee asked me if I was "bondable." I answered "yes, I tend to get along well with people." They said *nothing* 😂 Just looked at each other and then moved onto the next question. The memory still makes me cringe.
When I was a new EMT a nurse asked me if the car crash patient was restrained. I interpreted this to mean like handcuffs and it led to a very confusing conversation.
I laughed so hard at the end. I slowly realized that's not the right answers to the questions. The doctor looked really concerned and requested to have everything triple checked hahaha 😆
Dr. Schmidt, you are both handsome and talented. God Bless you and enlighten your road🇨🇦🌷🇺🇲🌷. I am Canadian and will complete the clinical part in Russia. Faith.
I had covid so severe that was in ICU for 10 days . And 14 days on the floor I came home and weaned myself off oxygen in a week. I will never trust anybody ever again because I got sick at the Dollar Tree and the woman said that the girl thinks she might have covid. So then I had to call the health department on the Dollar Tree because the fact of the matter that they did not care about my health and well-being knowing that I had comorbidity that would impede my health. I told them that I was immunosuppressed I told him that I cannot be around people who are highly contagious and all the sudden the other and they didn't care and then when I told him about my congenital nystagmus they said I never told him that I was disabled so yes do not work for the Dollar Tree it's the worst place to work and they do not care about you or what they do to you
Why is healthcare in Michigan so very very bad? I’m asking for basic care covered by my insurance And they act like I’m asking for them to pull unicorns out of their butts! Why?!
