i would like to know about communication in hospital. relationship between doctor and staff?

Answer 1

we are all extremely busy but we communicate just like at any other job, its part of the job

Answer 2

I don't know how to answer this question mostly because I work in a fairly dystopic hospital. The relationship between a doctor and staff is definitely different in a community hospital and a university hospital. Doctors seem to listen to nurses more at a university hospital and besides, many university hospitals have computerized physician order entry which is a great improvement over the handwritten chicken-scratch I have to decipher every day. At my current job at a community hospital, I feel like I'm holding it together, and as a nurse that's an overwhelming and sometimes scary thought with everything I have to juggle. Some physicians seem to rely on me to tell them everything that is happening to their patients. Now I'm not at all trying to criticize doctors, just the ones at my hospital that make my job very hard. When a doctor walks in the room, asks the patient if they're ok and then walks out before the patient can tell them anything while I'm chasing after them telling them what I found in my assessment (in which I actually put a stethoscope to their chest) and the patient is asking ME questions they should have asked their doctor, someone is clearly not doing their job...but I digress. I did find a new job anyways.

Long story short: sometimes doctors aren't as thorough as they should be in terms of communication with patients or staff. Sometimes it's because they're stretched thin, but a good hospital doesn't do that to their doctors, but good doctors don't usually let that happen to their patients or their nurses.

Answer 3

The doctor will get info from the staff on the patient. Ie the condition, symptoms, vital signs, ect. The doctor will then see the patient for the first time, or as a check up on thier current state. He will then fill out paperwork, or computer info as to what he feels should tkae place, or how the patient is doing. He may also verbally tell the staff what needs to be done. They will then follow orders, and make sure the keep the doctor informed on the patient.
