Monday, June 03, 2002"On a recent visit, two patients' emergency room reports, also transmitted by fax, were inadvertently stapled together. Aggarwal, the eICU doctor, briefly confused two patients, looking at a patient who he thought was in hypertensive crisis and seeing a man lying placidly in bed with bruises on his hands. He focused the camera on the IV pole and saw no anti-hypertensive drugs hanging. This time, the picture didn't fit the story. He was looking at an elderly man who had hit a tree on a scooter. He quickly diagnosed a paper mix-up." Whew. Good thing he took the time to focus his video camera on the guy. Is this kind of thing going to make patients trust us more? posted by Sydney on 6/03/2002 05:41:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
