I’d say Dr. A’s comment was pretty typical, and Dr. B’s actions also pretty typical once an assertive patient manages to contact them. And I would say that the real lesson is to leave the phone where they can reach it. After all, she got the pain medicine, did’t she, and went to sleep, and stopped bothering the nurse. And don’t patients have the RIGHT to advocate for themselves if the nurse’s advocacy is unsuccessful?

Just wanted to say that I enjoy reading your site. As for the “Are you human?” question-I’m just not sure anymore. I just recently graduated from a nursing program and preparing for the NCLEX. I think I’ve morphed into a “bionic” being.

My God!! Do nurses always get this much respect from the MDs? How horrible for your first job.
