blessed as always! =)
had u read my previous entry on how i screwed up the referal to hospital vs hospice thing?! by the mighty grace and loving blessing of my dear Father!! i am "saved". haha...
ok, just a recap.
case 1:a patient who had been pending for community hopsital placement since day 1 to day 30!! had been rejected and so my jiejie suggested hospice. so i put up the form, HO filled in the form and i faxed it. later patient was accepted. but then... jiejie realised that patient may not die so soon after following the consultant's round 1 morning. then she blamed me for faxing the form without giving it to her for vetting. she said that she just suggest but the HO ought to have spoken and discuss with her boss before filling in the form and blah blah blah... so i kena from her and the entire ward of nurses had to face the music due to my mistake. BUT!!! in the end... just when my jiejie and the HO were thinking of calling off the referral. the consultant said patient should go to hospice!! haha...
case 2: patient's msw said to refer patient to community hospital-subacute care. but jiejie felt patient ought to go to hospice instead. with no black and white doc. to support what i had heard from the msw. i was screwed! and since patient was previous referred to another community hospital but rejected, i had a ready filled-form to fax. so i did... again with the jiejie vetting through. like the above case, this issue was brought up during the roll-call. everyone was screwed for my mistake! =( i didn't follow up with the management after that. but when i went on shift again today, i heard that the msw and Dr F (consultant) came and specify stated that patient is NOT for hospice and that she is for community HOSPITAL and SUB-ACUTE care! finally my innocent was returned to me, that was how i felt when i knew about it. =)
ok, so i did do something wrong. i admit my mistake and i repent over it. but the wrong was made right. can u sense my joy when i heard that!? ok... some people think i am crazy to be happy over such stupid issue. but i am simply glad. ;) now, if my jiejie want to screw me on this issue, she can't say much except that i did not let her vet through the form before faxing it. she can't grumble about how much time was waste in between the "trying to correct my mistake while wait for another placement for patient" =) if we see the big picture, i didn't do anything wrong... patient needs to go to A - got to A, patient needs to go to B - got to B. although there were a little hic-ups in between, the job was done. isn't it the most important? *smirk* but still... it was quite a lesson to be learnt.
