It’s not just a matter of telling the nurses not to give you the meds(as if they could countermand his order and do it anyway)....the meds would not have been available for the nurses to give as the doctor would not have ordered them so that the pharmacy would have authorized their release so that the nurses could give them.
I’m glad a cardiologist from your group came in. However, there are other ways to have treated your blood pressure, that the hospitalist doctor should have implemented, if he felt your old meds should not have been given.
He didn’t treat the elevated BP with one of a score of different methods available, so I’d have a real concern as a nurse about that. I’d write him up and frankly would have done so.
“I’d write him up and frankly would have done so.”
I’m not 100% sure, but I think that’s been done.
Thank you
This is exactly correct. And good for you for writing the doc up. You have a license to protect too
