Inpatient Discharge Papers: Fill & Download for Free

Am not sure what are you asking about.If you are asking about people having to wait past the scheduled time to see the doc, medicine is no math, we schedule patients according to what time an “average” patient would need, sometimes double booking if someone needed to be seen urgently but the schedule was full, since some people need more time than scheduled, especially if later in the day, or would you prefer us to say after the scheduled time has passed “your time is up, please schedule another appointment”? Usually we go on until the matter has been taken care of, many are quite emotional like being told one has cancer. So yes, docs are often late, sorry! Sometimes an inpatient, or a patient on the ED needs us urgently, then we see that patient, meaning the scheduled patients will have to wait. This last can be taken care of if in a partnership one doc isn’t scheduled to see patients, and can attend to all those unscheduled patients urgently needing a doc, but this very often would be very inefficient, keeping one waiting for nothing, or a busy morning/afternoon of unscheduled patients to see.Docs are kept busy all day, when I worked we had no coffee nor tea breaks, in that time we could so did see an extra patient or two, no free lunch break, we had some of our meetings then, after afternoon session yet more meetings. So being busy we sometimes need more time for a patient than the time scheduled.Being so busy also means there would be a waiting time for not urgent consult, something like 3 weeks, in other specialties up to 3 months.Lots of work are delegated to junior docs, who have loads of paperwork to do, documenting the daily findings, the results of multidisciplinary meetings about the patient, writing discharge papers including prescriptions.We try to discharge patient home ASAP, the fact that we have a high workload doesn’t feature in this decision, usually we’re short of beds, so the problem usually is that the patient can be send home because the home situation isn’t good enough, and home care needs to be arranged, that as usual with lots of red tape take up much time.No leaving people in a hospital bed who don’t need to be there.

Thank you for the A2A.I’ve had 3 lumbar punctures, all done in hospitals (2 in the ER, and one admission to inpatient), and after each one I had to stay laying flat for a couple of hours afterwards.When I went home, the discharge papers (and no one said directly to me) did not say that I had to be on bed rest. Just to take it easy in the next 24 hours and stay hydrated.

It’s as if this question was meant for me.I often joke that when I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with DID, that it explains why I've been diagnosed with so many other mental disorders since I was 12, it’s because each one of my “supposed alters” must also have DID and then each one of their alters must also have a mental disorder.I really don’ think there is an established record to answer your question.What I do know is that any person would get diagnosed with at least one mental disorder if they only spent 30 mins with a psychiatrist or therapist.I personally have been diagnosed with at least one new mental disorder any time I’ve had an encounter with a new psychiatrist or therapist. I have been diagnosed by psychiatrists on different occasions, after they spent only 5 minutes in an emergency room with me , and I didn’t say one word, just sat in a corner on the floor. They talked to me, but I didn’t talk to them, then when I get discharged from either the emergency room or the inpatient unit, I read on my discharge papers, that I suddenly have a new disorder than I didn’t know of, and it’s been made official, it’s in my chart , signed by a psychiatric MD(so it must be true, right?). No joke! But psychiatry is a joke, if you know that much to be true.When I was 12 I was diagnosed with ADHD, at age 13 with anorexia, at age 15 with clinical depression , at age 18 with bipolar disorder, and OCD…that didn’t really change until I was 25, because I didn’t see another therapist or psychiatrist until then. When I saw a psychiatrist at age 25, I was diagnosed with psychotic depression, and between then and age 42, I have been diagnosed with some of the same previous things,and additionally with bipolar 1, major depression, orthorexia, schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder,GAD, SAD, PTSD, social anxiety, social phobia, avoidant personality disorder, bpd(quiet type), non organic pscychotic disorder nos, dissociative disorder(depersonalisation, derealisation, fugue state, dissociative amnesia), DID.Those are all the ones I can remember right now. I’m sure I’m forgetting plenty, my memory is pretty bad, because I’ve been treated with as many drugs as they could think of to treat each one of those disorders. And since at times the drugs didn’t work so “well”, I’ve also been locked up for prolonged periods of time(which only makes one’s mental state worse), and was put in restraints, at times twice a day everyday( sometimes for up to 8 hours straight-up to 16 dangerous hours in Belgium) which also exacerbates mental illness, and I’ve also had ECT, all impairing memory and worsening PTSD as well.When I was diagnosed with DID a couple of years ago, I decided never to see a psychiatrist again if I could help it. Being diagnosed with DID, just seemed to also worsen my mental state and how I was treated.I also discovered that I now have chronic long QT from the decades of involuntary“treatment “with anti-psychotics, and I also just had two surgeries to repair nerve damage in my wrist, which can only be explained from excessive and forceful use of restraints.Since I quit seeing a psychiatrist, I have been more stable , healthy and happy than ever, living with my daughter and close friend and I have healthy relationships and I engage in healthy activities .I do still see a therapist, a private therapist of my choice who does not work for the “system”,(but used to, for many years) and who does not put much stock into “labels”.So, not sure what the “record” is, but I’m sure it’s an incredible amount.
