MDAWARE
One of the more common responses of the medical intern or resident is "MD aware." Whether the laboratory calling us about a critically abnormal sodium level, the pharmacy informing us of a drug-drug interaction, or a nurse relaying a patient's complaints, we often respond, "Thanks, we know about it." In fact, when our electronic medical record flags a potential duplicate order or medication interaction, a pop-up box comes up, and I always click "MD aware - will monitor." One of our recently graduated cardiac surgery chief residents had the best license plate I've seen in a while - "MDAWARE." I wish I thought of it.
