As a nurse, I still consider myself as my patients advocate! I have had a few of these "run-ins" with residents as well as proper physicians... I tend to dive straight into an argument- if I think the physicians orders are wrong. Or atleast tell him/her my thoughts of what I think is right and if they end up "winning" the argument I make sure to document everything that has happened thoroughly. But the feeling of discontentment after work is still always there..... So, an afterwork jog/run is my best medicine for getting rid of some of the frustrations. I wish there was an easy answer in how to deal with these situations/physicians!
