First night

Last night was on with Renu, Pui Ching and Belinda. We took over 6 patients then later in the night took in 1 patient for SLED then followed by a STEMI patient who refused intervention. 4 intubated patients to sponge and out of the 4, 2 were very sick.
Uhmm consider managable but just unhappy with one of the MO. Threaten us that if we dont take the SLED patient IMMEDIATELY the patient will collapsed and we will answer for it. I went over to see the patient thought the staff may need help and at the same time take a look at the patient. I asked the MO was it need to go in immediately. She said "Cannot take is it? If patient collapse how?"
I was only asking "Is it need to go in now?" and not "Why come in to the ICU?" I dont understand why she must talk in that manner. After that I told myself could be this MO was not confident in manageing the patient that's why wanted to push to the ICU asap. If she is really concern about the patient, she should have at least accompany the patient to the ICU and hand over to the ICU MO but she didnt.
The patient was actually all right, not exactly breathless. She was on 100% O2 and the saturation was 100%. The ICU MO asked us how come this patient came in I told him because people said dont come in to monitor the patient will collapse lor. He laughed and said "She looks ok leh". Anyway, after SLED, the patient went back to where she came from.
I dont know lah. Nowadays whatever people order we just follow lah. Dont waste our effort to reason or argue. I believe in retribution. You nasty to people, one day you will get it back.
