Person dc from hospital comes to SNF. Main diagnosis muscle atrophy, weakness, T2DMwith out complications. No mention of the bacterial meningitis, diabetes insipidus, bilateral rib fractures, bilateral pleural effusions or the hyperphosphatemia with sodium bicarb and esrd. No biggie nothing worth mentioning

This is why I read the damn charts. One of the mid levels I work with told me I take too much time because I read the charts and just need to put it see hospital record.

Come on man ....

Can't imagine your side of it

The rehab next door kept bolusing a recently discharged patient for their SOB/PNA and their WOB kept getting worse…

it’s sad because…they had CHF and not PNA

someone shouldve read the notes +/- take a damn history +/- do a physical exam +/- just take a millisecond to squeeze the wrinkles of their brain

🤦‍♂️

Keep up the good work dude! You’re doing it right!! 💪

Thanks I'm trying

People don't give a shit anymore. It's the craziest thing to me. Corporatized "healthcare" is awful. It's sad to me how people are treated like slabs of meat to be cashed out on every which way. I know that it's a symptom of a higher problem, but it doesn't make it better.

I feel like some of these people are legitimately negligent. Some of the people I'm managing now, aren't appropriate for the SNF setting and either still need to be hospitalized or at least in an LTAC. If I wanted this kind of deal I would have worked in the hospital where the support structure and staff quality is at least supposed to be better.

I feel bad for the patients and families. This is why I'm trying to just trudge away as I get my own business built and focus on helping to bring in a new system.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm working on charts and just keep getting pissed about it.

KEEP FIGHTING DUDE!

IT ISNT “JUST A JOB” DESPITE WHAT THE FCKERS AT THE TOP THINK!

FOLKS WONT REALIZE IT BUT THEYRE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU CARING FOR EM

also building is an escape hatch is a good idea 🤣

patient transfer to different rehab or did they finally fluid overload them into oblivion

the latter which is why I know this story
