Hasn't the medical house officer or the surgical registrar arrived yet?

I know its not ideal but lets face it its who youre going to get after hours around here until the consultant drives to the hospital in his jammies

Yes this lqdy is mega super crook but im not touching it with a ten foot pole except for fluid and 2g.ceftriaxone

Based on what you have told me so far, I would not consider this patient to be stable. I would consider her to be in serious condition & in need of either a step down or intensive care unit. It sounds like she has developed a post operative infection possibly sepsis. There is also the possibility that she could have PE's. I would be interested in seeing her chest x-ray, Ekg, lab results especially her CBC & Blood Cultures, H&P & vitals.
