💡 How to escalate: Name the score, state the risk
Don't say: "The patient doesn't look good."
Say: "Mrs. Johnson in 412 has pneumonia with qSOFA of 2. RR 24, newly confused. I'm concerned about sepsis and recommend the sepsis bundle."
If the physician says "It's just a UTI":
"Her qSOFA is 2 — that's >10% mortality risk. Can we at least get a lactate?"
Evidence-based advocacy is not insubordination.
