This photo depicts the mudroom where most of the physicians enter just outside the lounge and shows the shoes and coats lined up as well as the well worn and dirty carpet where others have tread with dirty shoes on theri way to see patients earlier. I used this to illustrate the inherently transient role of physicans in whitecourt at the hospital and the way this shapes the responsibiliteis and scopes of practice of the different disciplines. I think it makes nursing the anchor of in-hospital care and assessment and puts extra responsibiility onto their assessments as there aren't other physicians to collaborate with in the hospital at most times of the day if needed. I think this makes the scopes of practice for nursing and medicine slightly different in this context than in an urban center where there are teams of hospitalists constantly rounding on patients on the various wards.
