Came accross a good way told to me by a CPN recently. Imagine a Pt comes
into your room with a balloon with a problem written on it and hands it to
you. during the consultation it toos and fros between you both. You deal
with it and must hand it back at the end of the consultation to leave with
the pt. The point being that as the pt has come in with it, they have to
leave with it. If they leave it with you, you and your room will soon be
squeezed out. You'll have no alternative but to spend your life flayling
around your room with pins pricking balloons as there will always be far
more pts with balloons than you have space to deal with. This idea even
applies to problems which the entire treatment is the doctor, like ABs for
pneumonia, which are 'signed off' with the pt leaving with a prescription
stuck to the balloon. It especially applies to those pts, eg
fatties/smoking/heartsinks, who try to leave the balloon with you. I liked
this idea a lot.
