Doc Vader Vs. The Hospital Administrator

A Dark Side rant on patient satisfaction scores, non-clinical administrators, and buttocks.

The only difference between Z dog and me is that his creative outlet for expressing frustration is much better

Working in the medical field this is completely accurate on how administrators are to doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, techs etc....it's hilarious on how accurate this is

"You have never touched a patient." Never truer words.

[annalee]

I had a patient tell me they had the "right to be pain free" I don't think they understand life...

"You must give the patient opiates because his pain scale is 10!"  "But he's eating a sandwich..."  PRICELESS.

Non-clinical, profit driven, paper pushing, suit wearing, email sending hospital administrators that care only about the "bottom line" have ruined our healthcare, especially hospital system. Despite the meetings and objective data we present to them showing the patients who are suffering as a result of their ivory tower politics nothing changes. I felt like I was committing professional moral and ethical suicide continuing to work in the hospital. I hope we can reclaim healthcare from those who have hijacked it for greed and control.

Physician here. Love it! That's exactly how admins work and it's extremely taxing.

Love your videos, ZDogg, both the satirical and more serious presentations! As initially a nutritionist-turned RN, and ultimately Nurse Practitioner, I spent over 30 years in the healthcare profession, but finally threw in the towel a couple of years ago, due to the Corporate Medicine takeover. I could tell you stories that would make Darth Vader blush; e.g. being chastised for running out to the parking lot, and performing BLS on an unconscious patient for 15-20 minutes, until EMS arrived. "If this happens again you are not to respond; it is not your responsibility.". Working in the hospital's Urgent Care facility, where they timed each and every patient visit, and POSTED OUR TIMES, for competitive purposes...10 minutes was too long, the shorter the better.
In a Neurology practice, having 8-9 patients scheduled between 5 & 6 pm, and these were all PENS/Trigger point injections, but for one follow up visit. Concerns falling on deaf ears in all instances, and being labeled a Pyrriah for taking these concerns to Management. I miss my patients, however, the thought of returning to the healthcare circus literally nauseates me, UGH! Thanks for carrying the torch for a dying breed of healthcare practitioners! 💖😢💖

"You should give him narcotics because his pain scale is 10" "He is eating a sandwich" (or watching TV, or talking on his phone, or texting, or playing a game, or eating, or anything BUT WRITHING IN AGONY!!!) So true... Stupid subjectives. Gotta say, that had me LMAO, though.

"Is it too late to go to Dark Side Law School?" 😂

"You have never touched a patient in the buttocks....i " -

[levibear]

We have gone from the patient care system to the money care system

[cchastee]

Look...your current covid vids are so helpful ... but it's nothing like coming back to these for genuine laughs thank

[EricKreckman]

Classic from the Dark SIde! Right in the gluteal cleft . . . more fact than fiction!

[InkedSpartan]

[Fireinthehead]

Never gets old. I will laugh at this video for ages to come.

[kariwren]

[anthonytorrescsno]

love this video, what a great way to start work off. Thank ZDoggMD

[kattschrodinger]

Not an administrator, but have to push the directive to my surgeons. This reflects many middle managers feelings as well! Can't wait to share with the Docs.

This is Accurate... and that's why I want to enter into healthcare administration through Nursing to be honest these folks do not get it.
