Her ward specialises in new ways to trigger her. And when they can’t find new ways, they go back to old ways. Ward rounds become this game of “what next?” What totally inconsistent manoeuvres can be done today? How can they keep contradicting their own care-plans? Patient-centred care is becoming a euphemism for “We’ve all decided before you joined us”.
I wish I was religious, because then I would know that all the little sins would be added up over a career to equal full damnation, akin to the rapid judgements that only nursing teams and doctors can make prior to a five minute ward round.
