Nurse with bad typing skills....Grrr



Recommended Posts

I had my 6 week check up today with my doctor. I thought I was doing great, down 48 pounds. I know I could be working out more but with working 2 jobs Im just exhausted. He came in and started yelling at me that I was not on the plan, Im not working out enough and I need to stop eating. I was shocked by this. I came home and looked at my logs. I stay on plan of 1/4 to 1/3 c per meal. I get more Protein in per day then they say. I check the hospital web site tonight for my blood work results. I noticed his nurse had a type-o on my weight. She add 6 freaking pounds. Really!!! Now i see why Im getting yelled at but it's her that needs a good stiff yelling. Miss typing someone weight is a huge mistake.

I know.. I have emailed them about it. I will also call to make sure they get it right on my chart. I left feeling really bad. I didnt eat my feeling like I would have done in the past but I was still tearing my self up over it. Now I see I have done things right and she is the one that need the talking too. If she checks me in again. You bet I will be checking her work before she leaves the room and rechecking it in front of the doctor.

Regardless if the nurse wrote down the wrong weight or not, being yelled at is completely unacceptable.

I agree with brighteyes. The doctor shouldn't be yelling at you, that is wrong. There is a right and a wrong way to approach someone when you are trying to get your point across and it sounds like the doctor took the wrong approach. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience today.

That is no way to treat a anyone, let alone a patient. Even if it had been 42 pounds instead of 48 that is still a average of 8 pounds per week and until he talks to you he can't know if your following the plan, everyone is different they lose different, plus your still are healing

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
