MediumMMI · PanelQ1

Nurse and Resident Disagree Over Pain Dosing

During a hospital volunteering shift, you observe a disagreement between a nurse and a resident physician about the dosing of pain medication for a post-operative patient. The nurse believes the prescribed dose is too low and the patient is in unnecessary distress; the resident insists the dose is appropriate and walks away without further discussion.

You are neither a nurse nor a physician. What do you do, and what does this scenario reveal about the importance of interprofessional teamwork in patient safety?

Likely follow-up · How would your approach change if you were a medical student on that rotation rather than a volunteer?

HardMMI · PanelQ2

Pharmaceutical Marketing and Physician Independence

Research shows pharmaceutical company meals, speaker fees and samples measurably influence physician prescribing, even when physicians believe they are unaffected, and Sunshine Act disclosure has not stopped the practice. How do you think about the ethics of industry relationships, and what policies would you adopt in your own practice?

Likely follow-up · What specific cognitive biases explain why physicians underestimate the influence of industry gifts on their prescribing?
