The yellow sheet clipped to a notice board is an X-ray requisition.
Anyone see a problem with that?
While on rounds this morning, I noticed that this ward has the practice of posting their X-ray reqs like this. I presume it's so they're easy to get at when a porter comes to transport the patient to the X-ray department. Whatever the reason may be, I suggest they rethink this practice.
Anyone walking by can read what's on the req, including the patient's name and details of their medical condition. Would you want your private information displayed like this?
