It doesn't pay to do my job.. ..

Sometimes I think that it doesn't pay to do my job, and ya, it doesn't pay well literally too..

We do discharge planning which well... some patients will relate to "are you chasing me out of hospital even when the Dr never say a word about it?"

We explore care options and of course, given the limited services, there'll surely be instances when family find not even one of the services is appropriate and this means "huh? You mean that's all? I can be a MSW too!"

Recently, I was telling this family member that patient will likely get rejected by facility L because he is not suitable. And this family member said that I am a wet blanket, spoiling all her hopes and efforts she made for finding this place.
Fine. I understand her anxiety of patient's discharge. And I acceded to her request telling the ward that family is insistent in making the referral.
Guess wat. I reviewed casenotes this afternoon, family member told the Dr that she thinks MSW doesn't understand patient's condition saying that facility L will reject.
Well, facility L really reject this application.
But glad that Dr did 挺我 regardless it is from the heart or not.

Ling is already quite upset about this. And the student makes it worse by writing "MSW informed that patient is already independent and will not be suitable for day care"
~Haiz. not day care. Is facility L. ~Haiz.

And before that, Ling was told that she has no heart, for wanting to chase pt out of hospital.
~haiz.

It doesn't really pay to do my work..
