4 hr GTT on a 4 yr old

There are just things that get my gourd (and where did that expression come from?)- A doc ordered this on a 4 yr old w/ the dx: obesity- Saw the kid- not an really fat kid- 56 lbs if I remember correctly- looked like a 5 y/o, looked normal to me and everyone else in the lab. A sweetie too considered all the nonsense her pediatrician is putting her through.

Bad name alert- Clorece

Irritation: the amount of useless waste- now disposable tornies, what are those needle hubs called?, having internal thermometers in addition to 24/7 temp charts and digital thermometers, and cal-ing them 2x/yr, calling panic values on known pts esp. oncology OPs, H&H Q 6hrs on stable admit for GI bleed, having to print out all results as save 2 yrs- LIS not enough, pages with nothing printed on them in manuals but the words "this page is blank" in italics...
