I know I’m not a doctor, but I thought a doctor was supposed to read the whole chart?
And what prevents the doc from asking the question???
Obamacare in action.
Not as thoroughly as they should. I don't want to second guess the nurse, but if anything in my notes warranted special attention from the doctor I would have put it on a yellow sticky note and put it on the page he works from.
I would verbally relay the information either to the doctor or the charge nurse and document. That is important...if it's not documented, it didn't happen.
