Do Not Disturb!
with commentary by F. Daniel Duffy, MD; Christine K. Cassel, MD
Following surgery, a woman on a patient-controlled analgesia pump is found to be lethargic and incoherent, with a low respiratory rate. The nurse contacted the attending physician, who dismisses the patient's symptoms and chastises the nurse for the late call.
