It all started 2
weeks ago when the chief of internal medicine presented a case in the case
conference session.
It was a case of
ac pul edema who was admitted to his service instead of admitting to the
cardiology service. Lem did not do it on purpose as the cardiologist was on
leave during the period.
After revealing
the x-ray, the IM chief had invited our cardiologist to comment on it and
sarcastically suggested that the cardiologist should give those emergency
physicians who did not undergone sub-specialty training a lecture on how to
differentiate pneumonia and pulmonary edema. (very irritating one - > when he had less patient, he would come to our department, asking for more admission to his service...)
Lem had walked out
straight from the conference room. Boss had sensed his rage and later invited
him for a deep discussion. After hearing all those unfair treatments by those
physician/surgeons toward our department; Boss had done an interview tour and
found that our new colleague was the main target.
The discussion did
not end as my complaint against the radiologist was also referred.
Last week, the
radiologists had sat down with us for a discussion. The process was a raging
one, the senior radiologist had focus on how to prevent his ass from being poke
being sued….I however strongly disagree with their argument – we would not put
our impression on our xray report(CT, MRI excluded)…..
Well, although the
ending was a positive one…
However I despise the
senior radiologist view of prioritized on his ass on being sued or not….
