I have just finished my 13:30pm -> 22:00pm shift finishing at 23:30pm. Thanks to the doctor who gratuitously left an hour early ( " I didn't get my lunch break today so I am leaving an hour early" ) you contributed to an excessive waiting time in the ED for the majority of patients arriving after 6.00pm when you left, and created the need for my 90 minutes overtime. There were still 5 patients waiting in ED for the overnight shift doctor to see by the time I had to leave at 23:30pm. And oh, by the way, I did not get a meal break either.
Thanks.
You need to revisit your priorities !
meh ... you probably won't ever get to see this, but I needed to publicly rant. Most of the doctors in Gladstone ED prioritize patient care and are prepared to put in the personal sacrifice when needed - I did not see this happen this afternoon.
As promised I will post after I get home ... waking early to pack ( planned on doing this tonight but need sleep ) and get to the airport by 9.30am.
