There is a newish tech at the hospital.
And he’s scooping up all the tech weekend call.
And he’s obnoxious.
He’s a know it all and not in a good way.
He won’t answer his phone.
He won’t answer his pager.
I am disgusted.
I have two options as I see it.
- grin and bear it until the weekend tech is ready to go live on her shift
- stop taking all the weekend call from the nurses
The second is the nuclear option.
I enjoy call.
I’m good at it.
I do not enjoy shepherding a know it all through his paces.
Every weekend.
I’m leaning toward 1. However, I heard about him telling the new weekend tech that she’s going to get tired of working every weekend, inferring that she should not.
As I did not hear this myself I can’t report off to my boss.
However, I can tell her to pay no attention to him.
