Looks like a fairly typical inpatient medicine month except for the rather low CP rate(seems like about 20% of my admissions from the ER are for CP) and, assuming this was an unassigned service, there is suprisingly no overdose.
ReplyDeleteBecause we had a CP service.
DeleteOh! CP means "chest pain", not "cerebral palsy"!
DeleteThough, to be fair, I'm not a medical professional.
Sounds like you got the fullup assortment. Except for chest pain, as noted above. What, they didn't think you needed to learn how to treat chest pain? Everywhere doesn't have a CP service...and no overdoses, that IS unusual
ReplyDeleteWe all got a chance to be on the CP service and do nothing but CP for weeks.
DeleteYou only saw 28 patients in a month? Not hating - I'm sure as a result you did an awesome job and they got way better care then they would on the usual overpacked service, just surprised because as an ED resident I got frowny face if I saw less than 8 a shift, or, on inpatient, if I couldn't handle a 15+ patient service.
