Just a Simple Request

When a patient gets transferred from one facility, let's call it Health Care Facility A, to another, let's call it Health Care Facility B, flow of information can be critical for proper follow-up for the patient's needs. Often whoever is caring for the patient at Facility A speaks directly with the receiving professional at Facility B, as the patient is being rolled out the door at Facility A. (This is by no means the only communication, because are procedures all along the way including a formal acceptance of the patient by Facility B.) But the last-minute report, usually exchanged between nurses, can be very useful. It can be especially useful if the nurse at facility A has cared for the patient for longer than ten minutes, although this is not always possible.

My simple request is this: if, at Facility A, the patient has loudly and frequently voiced a preference for receiving a dozen root canals with no pain reliever while lying on a bed of nails over being transferred to Facility B, could someone include that in the report? It would sure help me do my spiritual assessment... actually, it would help me preserve my hearing while attempting to do my spiritual assessment.
