Dr Jen asked a really good question "I'm curious as to why none of you
contacted the HCP to express your concerns." 

Hi Jen
There is a power dynamic between doctors and nurses (which can be compounded
if the doc is man and the nurse is a woman) and doctors and just about
anyone else who is not a doctor.  (Have you ever noticed how the way a
person is spoken to in emergency changes dramatically when the staff
discover that he/she is a doctor?)  This can make it really tough to make
that phone call.  I am wondering if you can give those of us non-docs some
tips about how to approach this without antagonising the person we are
speaking to.  (Here in Aus, the first hurdle would be getting past the
reception staff.)
