 The word doctor scares people sometimes. In the ICU, we take away that hierarchy and we're all one level. We're one team. The thing that we're trying not to do is the kind of old doctor-nurse game, which I kind of paraphrase as Tarzan. Me, Tarzan, you, Jane. But rather, you know, we're colleagues working together on the patient. I really feel like that is the culture of Kaiser. It's embraced. It's not looked upon as, you know, be quiet or mind your manners. If people don't feel comfortable speaking up, there may be a problem that goes unsolved. This is a job that requires different disciplines to all come together. The doctor makes a diagnosis, makes a plan, writes orders, but it's all the other professions that provide the care that the person needs. So we work together. I call that the grand jury because you stand before all of these people in rounds and they are in different areas of the medical field and you have to present your case. We have our dieticians, we have the pharmacists, the intensivists, our DA and our clinical nurse specialist, as well as the social worker and on occasion our chaplain comes too. We meet room-to-room with all of our ICU patients. It's a way that you can give information to the family and also allow the family to see how many people are actually caring for their loved one. It is time-consuming, but it's very thorough. Things aren't missed. It's, well, it's just different than what I'm used to. With one of my patients today, we had a different order than I'm not used to seeing. So I did question it to the doctor. How would, oh, you did that? Okay. Our dietician stepped in and she was like, oh no, that was me. I put that order in and she explained why and enlightened all of us. I talk to the nurses all the time about speaking up because we value their opinion, they're part of the team and they feel part of the team. The respect you give them, the opportunity to let them think and suggest as opposed to constantly telling them what to do, all of those little things over time, they'll build trust and then they'll build comfort. I love it because we are a team and I think that makes Kaiser so different because we can talk freely and we can work together and we can be successful in so many different ways.
