Listen to the nurses!

Some doctors never learned this

During our Junior year in medical school, we got to first wear our white coats. We got away from the microscopes, and moved from the dead bodies in the gross anatomy lab to the live people in the hospitals. We rounded with the team, actually did physicals and listened to live heartbeats, tapped with little rubber hammers for tendon reflexes. We read histories in the chart, reviewed xrays and presented patients at conference. We wrote in the chart and……wrote orders. But they were taken off only by nurses when counter signed by a real doctor. That was the point I learned to listen to nurses. Some, like gentle mother hens, maybe only two or three years older than we the medical student- would gently talk to us about the orders we wrote. Teach us. And do it kindly. So we could correct written orders that might even be dangerous if followed! I learned then and there to listen and pay attention to the nurses I worked with. They were and are truly angels of mercy, giving life saving information to the patients, families and attending doctors.

Simply put- listen to the nurses!!!!!

Dr Kory obviously learned the same lesson I did back in 1970…listen…

Here is a must read - especially for the doctors who think the government, academic, society doctors “know it all”….. hint hint. They do not. Totally unrelated to the excitement and division about COVID —- go look up the story about the doctor who learned about the bacteria h.pylori (from a veterinarian friend) and proposed gastric/duodenal ulcers were caused by a bacterial infection we could treat with antibiotics instead of invasive surgery. He was ridiculed by the smart leading establishment/academic/government doctors and lost his medical license. Left the US to practice in a foreign country.

But back to the nurses. Listen to them.

Here is Dr Kory’s latest….
