Documentation nazis.

I have a new favorite beep. These people call themselves documentation experts; gestapo is more apropos. They have a sense of what possibly is the worst time to call, and then attack. Like in the middle of director's rounds, when I am crammed in a tiny room with 20 other people, listening to a case presentation, and I have to squeeze through 2 chairs and 5 people to get to the door, B-line it to the nearest nurses station, find a free phone, and call.

Excuse me, it looks like this patient is just here for a foot infection; can't they just put him on something at home? You need to document the real reason for admission.

Believe me, lady Nazi, I would be more than happy to send these people home. But truth is, I probably have less say than you. Barking up the wrong tree, you are. Why don't you page the admitting doctor at work, and see what nice words he has for you.

And why don't you document that, bitch.
