Members Zamfir Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Let's see - every time I've had a knee operation, someone came in and wrote on the correct knee - how to you figure they marked that one up??? - georgestrings I'm guessing it had something to do with dancing cheek to cheek.

Members bholder Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 A new anus? WTF, it is artificial or something? Parts from a cadaver? Yikes That's it, my next band name is either "My Artificial Anus" or maybe "My Cadaver Transplant Anus". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bikehorn Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 This just goes to show you... you can go through 12+ years of college and still come out an idiot. I dont know why these doctors get paid so much. So, what should they be paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members picker13 Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wonder why this happens? Guest who transports patients in hospitals and surgery centers -- the lowest paid least trained people on staff. These yo's just back from smoking a doob in the receiving dock are told to pick up Mr. Hooever in 216, and instead get Mrs. Gonna Sue in 261. Current standards in JCAHO accredited hospitals dictate that there are Multiple name and ID checks on patients by multiple personnel (nursing, OR staff, anesthesiologist, even the surgeons now) before surgery can begin. And for surgeries involving laterality (right vs. left), there are multiple times when the correct side is marked in some way. When my brother had chest surgery, he and his wife put notes on his chest saying "this side" and "no, the other side" just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted March 25, 2008 CMS Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Well, some recent doctor visits have reinforced the importance of doing your homework and knowing what you've been prescribed. I've got a script for a drug I've been prescribed for a few years. I went to a specialist for a different issue and was given a second script. This one has some pretty definite interactions with the first. I had clearly filled out all of the medications I had taken on the form you get as a new patient. The doctor never mentioned the existing script during the visit. I took the script to the pharmacy, which is one of the ones that advertises how careful they are to check for drug interactions. Nothing...no mention at all. A week later I had a followup at the original doc for the original script. Filled out the paperwork, listing the two conflicting scripts. Doc never mentions it, so I bring it up, and he looks at me like I've grown a third arm. He pretty much didn't know what I was talking about, and essentially just said, "yeah, then don't take it while you're taking the other drug". Gee, thanks doc.

Members WillPlay4food Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 When my brother had chest surgery, he and his wife put notes on his chest saying "this side" and "no, the other side" just to be sure. Just after that guy in Florida had the wrong leg removed (then had to have the correct leg removed), a guy came into the OR with "THIS SIDE" and a big arrow pointing to the body part he was having operated on. Some of these docs are trying to get in 4 cases by lunch time. You really need to make sure the OR staff know exactly why you're there and what side to work on.
