S is for sign out. . Transitions of care are potential sources of medical error. The primary team, who discuss a patient’s plan extensively daily. We then pass the patient on to the call team and sometimes also a night team, who only know what we tell them and we put on a wee piece of paper. We’ve all felt the trepidation of getting a sign out on a patient who you just know is going to crash while you’re covering, and feeling like you could never know enough about them. . Anyway I try not to leave crosscover with the above nightmare scenario, but sometimes you gotta go home! We’re all pretty understanding of that though. . #signout #transitionsofcare hospital #patient #procreate #illustration #webcomic #procedures #resident #intern #pgy1 #medicine #inpatient #doctor #relatable #womeninmedicine #blackdoctors #graphicmedicine #premed #premedmotivation #im #residency #internyear #internalmedicine #medschool #medicine #medicalschool #medlife #md #medstudents
