Sign Out
Just got home from a 14-hour day on call at the hospital. It’s Saturday night. I have to go in to work again tomorrow at 7 a.m. Am waaaaaaaaaaaay too tired to write anything exciting.
One thing I found interesting from today is sign out. As I was on call, the day folks all signed out to me and then tonight, I signed out everything to the night float team. I am reminded of the game “telephone” where one person says something to another person and then they say that to the next person, and so on….and by the end of the line the original blurb is incomprehensibly changed.
Same thing can happen with sign outs.
Lesson learned from today. Making your patients laugh is one of the most important therapies that exist. Seriously.
It’s leftover sushi time. Buenas noches!!!
