Referrologist

Hi friends,
In the last post I was a little bit serious because some of my colleagues were quite curious whether my approach was right or wrong so I gave clarification.
Today I want to discuss one issue which is very much discussed in our hospital and that is referral. Since this blog is initiated by me so if you allow, I want to elaborate this issue in my way.
Referrals received:-
Some times the referring doctor is very specific like ‘referred to such and such doctor for this procedure’ or like ‘doctor come to ER and do stitching’ (this is another thing that most of the time no procedure is required in such patient.) or some times doctor is called to rule out some disease like:
• Referred to surgeon to rule out appendicitis. Or
• Referred to neurosurgeon to rule out brain abscess (that means if he rules out brain abscess, referring doctor will not allow him further to interfere in the management of the disease).
• Referred to ENT specialist to rule out adenoids.
So you can see the specific trend of our DGH in giving referrals. One thing more some of our NWG (No Work Group) Doctors are very desperate to get the post of referrologist. This post may be new for you but it is available in our hospital, and by GOD’S grace only qualification needed is The Least Knowledge among the NWG Doctors.
