Long-time lurker here. Just wanted to vent some frustrations with being on a consult service. In my hospital we operate strictly as consultants and do not directly make medication changes. It is very frustrating when the medical team does not follow recommendations given. Honestly, I doubt they even read our notes. They feel psychiatry is just a place to dump unwanted patients from their service. How do you all deal with this? What can I say in the documentation that is passive-aggressive enough to get the point across while still being professional? Any suggestions?
For some background, I am a PGY-4. My attending has confided similar frustrations and will back me up with whatever route I decide. Thanks in advance!
