Because I didn’t know how to calculate someone’s CHADSVASC-HASBLED score or know I even need to import that card into the note.
I usually work upstairs in with a different specialty of cardiology that doesn’t really manage the minute details of afib but today I was with this mean Chinese doctor who specializes in it.
He didn’t look me in my eyes all day except once when he gave me an earful.
It’s this obscure risk vs benefit score/statistic for people who have afib and basically you just check boxes based on their risk factors by looking back at their history. It’s not hard but I had no idea about it.
We left the room and he looked at the note and said where’s the chadsvasc?
Me: “uh what’s a chadsvasc?”
Dr: (whips around at me and looks me directly in the eyes with really mean Asian eyes.) “IM SORRY HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED HERE???”
Me: “Uhhhh..... like since September..... but I... umm... usually I work uhhh.....—”
Dr: “YOUVE WORKED HERE SINCE SEPTEMEBER AND DONT KNOW HOW TO PUT IN A CHADSVASC SCORE?! THATS RIDICULOUS. I WILL BE TALKING TO MIRANDA!!!”
——————
At the end of the day, hours later:
Me: “Sorry dr k** about slowing you down earlier today with the chadsvasc and thank you for letting me train with you in the arrhythmia clinic today.”
Dr: (disgusted look on his face) “Well I didn’t really get a choice so I don’t know why you’re thanking me.”

Yikes.
