Switching Dr.s at SG

[Anonymous]

I don't think the nurses bother to talk to each other about patients complaints -- they aren't that invested and patients come and go - call the patient liaison and ask for a switch.

(It was SO clear that I needed to switch nurses that I was less worried about that.) I will say now, though, that with some distance, I think that worry was silly. Maybe the nurses talked about me, but I got better care with the second one. So whatever the first one said didn't impact my care. The doctors are used to people switching for all sorts of reasons -- I doubt they care enough, honestly, to talk about you negatively to the other doctor.

They don't care any more about your personality or complaints than the CVS cashiers do. They are really overloaded with cases, so we are all walking talking numbers. I would not worry about them gossiping at all.
