Sorry for not thanking you for your earlier remarks. I think I found out why they have been covering everything up (almost 2 months now). Well, assuming that when a patient comes in and has quite a loud verbal dispute with a nurse, and 4 security guards are brought in for either no reason, or for "just in case", wouldn't the Attending MD be notified?, and wouldn't he come and see the patient?
1) I'm assuming the attending must be on site.
2) I'm assuming he would be called for or he himself would hear the noise when I entered the ER
3) A nurse practitioner can't be an ED attending
4) The ED attendings s name (Dr.X) is on the record with a barcode stamp with my name on it in several places
5) The facesheet of my record states Dr. X on the first page.
6)The NPs name appears at the top of one page as the ED Attending.
7) I was there for at least 2 1/2 to 3 hours, How long of a break can an attending take?I think my record was intentionally falsified.
what do you think? There are many other things wrong with it. Too many to just call them mistakes.
> Fired you say you started it and there were witnesses of what title not sure? What exactly did this nurse say? A reprimand is about all that will happen for verbal abuse as unfortunately as I saw and googled short staffing and heart attacks, injuries etc are triaged and treated first. Did you require restraining? Either medicinally or physical as in restraints? Don't think can sue. But have been wrong before and could be this time. Lawyers also have free consultations to see if you have a case. Might want to discuss this either with hospital administrator or lawyer? Since I wasn't there to witness hard to give advise. Phillipa
