The Ultimate Resident Guide - Chronic Pain section
Clinic
You are expected to take history and examine the patient, staff with the attending, and then write the note after discussing the plan with both the attending and patient. Try to be quick and efficient and write clear notes (ask to use Dragon when off site!).
Ketamine infusion
For the time being, we do not offer Ketamine infusions at either UH Main Campus or Ahuja- we have been referring patients to Parma or putting them on a waiting list.
Procedures
Under the fellows guidance: consent pts, place IV if nurses haven’t, review note to ensure proper procedure
