Stage 5, Acceptance, II

[hoosiermama]

Last night, S8 complained of a sore throat.

Me: S8...go get the flashlight for me and I'll take a look in there

(W goes to run for the flashlight and looks in)

W: There's nothing there.

Me: (go to get flashlight)

W: I SAID THERE IS NOTHING THERE. IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO LOOK.

(sigh)

I got the flashlight and looked. In medical school, they taught us to always look at our own labs, Xrays, studies, etc. Never trust the radiologist or report.

I won't change protocol now. LOL. I guess it's now XXX, MD.

PS...I thought he had some mild posterior pharyngitis but the tonsillar pillars had no injection or exudate.

Oy.
