Another week in the Med center

Hello all,

Well im finishing up homework and getting ready for another fun weekend in Peds cardiology land. I saw a post about Patient reps and patient complaints . We had to deal with one over the weekend we had a lady who's child we were taking care of from an MVA she was hurt too but the child was far worse. She came out and said " I am in severe pain I need pain Medication give me something. we were like sorry you are not a patient here we cannot do that. she stormed back to the room. she came out 20 minutes later yep you guessed it demanding pain meds for her. we told her the same answer as before but I guess she did not understand us. Well guess what an hour later her babydaddy comes out of the room looking all thug like and say" yo give my babymomma her pain meds " I just rolled my eyes. we explained to him, sir she is not a patient we cannot give her Medication. well he walked off mumbling something . not ten minutes later patient rep is at the nurses station wanting to know why we are withholding a patients pain medication. we explained to her she not the patient her child is. hmmm it should of been a clue when she come to he pediatric floor but I ll give her the benefit of the doubt. sh she went into to room and talked to them it turns out she has a prescription of pain killers from the ED there just did not want to run out to the pharmacy to get it filled they figured we would give them the meds because she had a prescription LOL nope soory Rite drug is just down the street
man some people are just to lazy. till next time stay safe........................
