You should be more concerned with banging the 20 year old nurses. There ain’t nothing better than a nurse in the sack.

Hospitals are not hotels, but staff could better coordinate timing (better hospitals do this).

Best of luck to your mom

He didn't tell them how to do their jobs. He simply asked them to try to keep noise down. Nothing wrong with that.

well, data does show you have statistically have better outcome having a MI outside the hospital (and getting transported in) than as a inpatient.

Get stable and GTFO should be every patient’s MO when they come in. People like to linger around the hospital for some reason. Hospitals are a great place to get another illness.

They are called trolls. Some physicians are known for holding patients longer than need be, its not just the patients. Some places are at max capacity for beds all week, overcrowding their ER and then POOF!!! 50% of the hospital is discharged on fridays. Its like magic

Couldn't they just take them earlier though, like at 9 or 10pm?




Doctors want the most recent labs available in the am. Their treatment plan can be based on what the labs show. So they are usually gonna want labs as close as possible to when they do early am rounds.


OP....you can have your mother voice her complaints on the patient survey she will get. Working nights I always tried to be quiet as possible...but we are a 24/7 operation so sometimes that just isn't possible.

I've worked at many hospitals that had these monitors in the nurse's station. Looked like a stop light. It monitors noise levels. Would be green if noise levels stayed low enough...turn yellow when starting to get a little loud and red when it was too loud. Was a good way to remind nurses when they were talking too loud.

Most physicians don’t. Hospitals can’t control the number of people that come into the ER and as far as people being discharged on Friday’s simply bc the physician wants them out before the weekend goes, you ever consider that it’s the patient who magically feels better before Saturday rolls around??

Most maybe, but I do know several that plan to DC the majority of their patients on fridays. The census drops dramatically.

Well if the patient needs case management to help with discharge for home health, etc....doing this on the weekends is usually more of a challenge and the discharge can get pushed to Monday. Or if they need to be transferred to another facility, some facilities avoid taking transfers on the weekends. So I could see physicians trying to discharge their patients on Friday so they don't get stuck waiting until Monday to be discharged.

I try to get my patients out by Friday, Saturday at the latest. Most rehab, SNFs, etc do not take admissions on Sunday and chances of getting them out past Friday at lunch significantly drops.
