This is also why your healthcare premiums are high.

I'm pretty sure that you were the only one claiming that doctor's were morons (which was only further proof of how much of a moron you are) .

Doctors absolutely can be morons. I just gave you a great example that you are too stupid to understand. Venture out of your cave once in a while, troll boy.

All you showed us is what an egotistical moron you are. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back for that though; we're all super impressed. :shrug:

*side note: I've never made the argument that doctor's can't be morons....but leave it to a moron to pretend otherwise

While that would prove my point that doctors can be morons, we all know you aren’t doing anything worthwhile with your life. But, honest question, what do you actually do for a living?

If you want to talk one on one with someone about their personal life, maybe you should PM OceanSpray. :shrug:

Spliffy, you have no idea how often nurses have to correct MD's orders due to medication allergies. It happens all too often.

So you’re just a mouthy little man when it comes to any and all things to do with others here but too much of a ***** to share anything about yourself? Sounds about spliff.

Yep. I’ve had doctors order contrast CTs on patients with contrast allergies and MRIs on patients with pacemakers because they didn’t bother to look at a patients history or properly screen them first.

No, you're right. You and Jacko are much more intelligent and skilled than the average doctor.

Again, try sending a PM to OceanSpray if you are craving a strange man's private attention. I'm sure he'd love to hear about how your day went.

I'm not questioning intelligence of the physician. They have between 500 and 1000 patients. They cannot keep track of every allergy that each patient has. I have between 50 and 100 patients that I have to keep track of.
In my years as a nurse, I frequently call them with a report and get an order. When I hear a medication that the patient is allergic to, I question the order. They always thank me for the correction and order something more appropriate, or order Benadryl to keep the reaction to a minimum.
I would say that I've had to question about 150-200 orders in this way.
