joanna.nola Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 "non-physician assistants" : that's a new one to me. possible name change material? you get the best of all worlds: we assist the non-physicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmood Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I can't help but think (given how carefully-worded the rest of the essay was) that he chose that phrase deliberately. What an ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAdamsPAC Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Why wasn't the Renal guy more involved? It's been my experience that D5W isn't the favorite flavor IVF on the surgical services. I wonder why it was used and who was monitoring I&Os along with her labs. I've seen folks order labs reflexively and then fail to follow them ! To me the unknowing of the full picture I can say ignorance isn't bliss. The take home lesson is PAY ATTENTION TO THE PATIENT COMPLETLEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted October 1, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 1, 2012 so it is these "non-physician assistants" that did this? who were they? and why was there not an attending at least daily rounding on the patient - oh there was.... gotta have that in the ICU seriously sounds like stuff got missed, but why is not stated in the article - come to my hospital and it is not the PA or NP in the ICU but instead a whole bunch of FMG that litterally don't speak english.... now that creates problems.... thank god for a great group of attendings!

medic25 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 If the problem was with a non-physician assistant, and I'm a physician assistant, then I guess it was with somebody in a profession other than mine. The only non-physician assistants in the story would be the physicians.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgdog Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 To be fair, it didn't sound like he was baging too much on the PA's in particular, however, I have story after story of physician f/ups, a few as recent as 2-3 weeks, so if it gets to mudslinging, lemme know cuz I got a boatload of mud I can sling. Medicine is a big sport, everybody makes mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicine is a big sport, everybody makes mistakes. EXACTLY but it sure is easier to pick on, and think you got lesser care if an ASSISANT was delivering it... the fact of the matter is the sicker you are the more dangerous hospitals are.... I make a point to stay away from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
