Let's review, shall we?
There is a hospital heirarchy. Chain of command, if you like. Department chief, attendings, chief resident, residents, interns, med students. Interns do not get to lie to their department chief just because they do not like what their chief resident has told them to do. When interns do this, Big Chief gets rather pissed off. And very, very annoyed. He will not give you a second chance, piss him off twice and he fires you. Got that? Good.
Moving on...
Morbidity and mortality reviews, M+Ms for short. They are a teaching exercise, a chance to review and learn from our errors and those of our peers in order to facilitate better patient care and fine tuning the practice of medicine. They are not a free for all. Not a blame game and a chance to point fingers. Further, they are not a witch hunt. And I do not like being interrupted or corrected while I am speaking...providing the best care requires communicating openly and when we fail to do that lives are lost. If you ontinue to snap at each other like that in trauma rooms and the OR, it's a small wonder we don't lose more patients. We're professionals, people. Act like it for once.
And a side note here, there are some entirely frightening people in this city that present themselves as child care providers. Draconian Russian Babushka or a Brazilian 'hottie' seem to be our only choices since Miriam has continually flaked on us. Abigail, maybe you are right about County's daycare, just don't rub it in, okay?
