[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very odd. Would tell the doctor it made me uncomfortable [/quote]

+1. Yes, report it to the Dr or nursing manager or whoever. It's not normal or Ok.[/quote]

Fine to report it to the Dr. if we're talking a small practice -- i.e. solo or 1-2 equal partners. But for some of the huge pediatric practices here with 20+ drs. (as well as the ones owned by health systems), I would NOT report it to a dr. and assume he/she will do anything about in. In those practices drs. are basically salaried employees and don't have the same feeling of ownership that someone does when they own their own business/hire/fire all staff. I can see a younger MD thinking -- hmm Dr. so-and-so is the senior partner and he hates me, I'm not going into his office to discuss this. I can see an overworked/jaded middle aged type saying -- hmm, well not my problem since they don't pay me enough to worry about their lack of practice mgmt. You just don't know what any Dr. does with that info. I would tell the nurse manager instead -- they are more directly involved in reviewing the nurses work and will do whatever would be done in this situation.[/quote]

Regardless of practice size, you report it.  Regardless of the sex of the nurse, you’d report it.

It may have be a one time lack of judgment, but this is the kind of feedback needs to be given.[/quote]
