Medical Staff Share Things People Don’t Know About Hospitals

There’s nothing particularly surprising (or particularly interesting) about this little tidbit of information. I’d bet that a large majority of us have done jobs that involve a lot of sitting at the computer “doing nothing,” and we know a lot of it is documenting. Ugh, just the thought of it.

What does somewhat catch my attention is the phrase ‘every single patient interaction’. So if I leave my bed to go to the toilet and, on my way, wave at the nurse, does that get written down? What about if I give her a box of chocolates with my phone number written on the back?
