God forbid anyone actually come as a transfer with a summary of their 10 day hospitalization.

Woah, touchy, touchy. Sounds like someone just might have had his training at Outside Hospital.

OMG, sounds like all the metropolitan Chicago hospitals belong to the Outside Hospital Network!

I worked for years as a trauma nurse in a tertiary care hospital, and I worked for years at a level one trauma center as the nursing trauma team leader on midnights. It's comforting to see that nothing has changed: the wet-behind-the-ears new doctors at the level 1 facility will always believe that they are the smartest and wittiest human beings to ever wear a scrub top, and make sure everyone around them "knows it".

They already made "Scrubs" guys. I think you missed your window of opportunity

So true, I got to spend the day at the cath lab for my nursing clinical, I witnessed a patient get a cardiac cath that turned out not to even need it at one of the county hospitals here in Houston. What was supposed to be an educational experience turned out to be a lesson in how the medical establishment fleeces the system.

Outside, inside, we're all on the same side. What?

[WhiteBubblySoup]

No cath report, echo report or hospital summery......but we'll send the nursing notes. Classic!

@mhaissen great comment! succinct

I'm a stepdown nurse at a UH and I getting report from OSH. 80% of the time, the nurse has no clue what is going on and will say things like "skin intact" and then the patient shows up with a Stage 3 DPU. That makes nurses look so bad! But then again, sometimes the same thing happens within my hospital... we had a nurse from a med-surg floor transfer a patient to us for what she called "DVT's" when the patient was having "DT's" from ETOH withdrawal. The moral: MEDICAL MORONS ARE EVERYWHERE.

[itogrr]

HAHAHA! ALL of this is SO TRUE!! HOWEVER, it is definitely not all true about OSH. Some of it, like the nurse notes (LOL!), is classic OSH. But it's the university hospitals that consult 'specialists' for every, and I mean EVERY, complaint, no matter how minor. Its damn ridiculous. Consulting has become such a pathetic crutch in the university/large hospital setting, that the primary doctors can no longer make common sense medical (or social) decisions on their own.

They have shitty doctors at outside hospital.

Judge not, lest ye be judged...

I am temp'ing in an extremely rural community in the Southwest, and tonight I visited an ER in the middle of NOWHERE. There was a doctor there. How can they afford that? We should be glad that any physicians are willing to accept the risk of working alone in some of these areas. This video was made by kids with no "real world" experience. But I will admit, some hospitals get wayyy too many consults. ? if they do this in academic centers.
