Motives

When a doctor consistently brings in donuts and bagels to the nurses after an on-call night without any telephone calls; would a night nurse be more likely to not call the doctor.

Would one consider this a "bribe?"

Could this possibly contribute to nurses not calling when they should call?

(certainly hope not)

But, is this good practice? Maybe just a friendly "thank you?"

Logical?

Actual thought process of a doctor this week:

Situation: Laboring woman having variables (non-reassuring drops in the fetal heart rate).

Doctor's solution: "Let's break her water, put an IUPC in, then if she needs it, we'll put fluid in."

Hmmm... Why not just leave the fluid in there in the first place?
