stupid resident

[delorisdoe]

So I had an appointment today and had the unfortunate pleasure of first being seen by the dumbest resident ever. First she did not believe me that just because the result of my anca test said above 8, that does not mean that it is and I quote"way lower than last time. " every time I get my blood tested the lab refuses to provide the titer. She thought I was confused.

After my appointment she gave me my bloodwork form and told me to g get my blood taken now and then go home, and start my 24 hour urine collection and trn that in tomorow morning.

Ok, number one tomorow morning is not 24 hours from 1 pm today.
They prefer it to be started in the am.
Tomorow is good Friday. Am I to leave my pee outside the blood lab with my name.

Normally I like residents...they think of things to ask that my others may not. This woman needed my help. She did not even take my blood pressure.

On a good note, she did fill out just about every box on the blood work form. I will be able to let go of my liver concerns and will even find out if have lupus. Lol

How did she get into med school?

[delorisdoe]

I don't know. When I got to the pharmacy the pharmasist could not figure out how to dispense the prednisone...aparently I should have helped her with her math too. She ad the taper instructions all messed up. Lucky for me I can figure out that on my own.

Did you not have an apt today?

Ya, my appointment is in about 2 hours.

My pharmacists just give me a bunch of pred and trust me that I am working with my doc on a taper.

OMG you two Canadians are killing me! Telling the pharmacist how to dispense your drugs? Really? We'd never get away with that here in the States! If the instructions from the doc are not perfect, they have to call. It's a little ridiculous sometimes.

[delorisdoe]

He figured it out he told me just throw out the left overs.

[pberggren1]

I know all of my pharmacists by first and last name and have even gone out with a few of them.

[delorisdoe]

Really? i have had pharmacists who have felt very sorry for me during treatment and they have gotten to know my name but never have they asked me out for a drink . lol

Oh ya, I can be very charming! LOL
