Social Services Director at a LTC/rehab facility. Y’all know what’s coming I’m sure, but…
Twenty percent of our residents haven’t had vitals taken in over a week. Half of those, over a month. 50%, not since last year. One resident, it’s last October. I told my administrator, he basically told me to stay in my lane. He said it’s the job of he and the DON to fix problems like this. My response? “Then fucking fix it.” as I walked out the door. He’s gonna fix it. That’s the power I have now

Have you ever dealt with a colleague that believes in extremely (in my opinion) outdated or even just false claims and treats them as scientific facts? I work with several older men but one of them practices "provocative therapy" as in you just play the devil's advocate with your patient and side with the negative half of their thinking. In theory I could see this working situationally, but as a whole philosophy regardless of the patient's issue I think it's ridiculous.
