I work in the medical field and i need some advice.
Does a coworker have the right to tell you which patient to room? Tell you to hurry up? Even though the doctor isn't behind with his schedule?
How can i respond?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Does "pt" mean patient?

if they have seniority, they might not have the official capacity to tell you who goes into which room, but it is best if you heed their advice especially if it makes sense. For instance if he/she is asking you to place a patient with a broken bone to room near the x-ray machine, why not ? On the other hand, they might be playing for a supervisory role and are expecting to be promoted by stepping over others, barking orders, which is not cool

Just a few minutes ago you had a long post on this same thing. Don't delete and re-post. And use whole words and capital I.

We can't know who has what responsibilities and authority in your specific organization. Ask your manager.

To repeat my prior comment:
If she is the office manager, she has that authority.
If she has been given that authority by the office manager -- you did say she was assigned to train you -- she has that authority.
If neither of these is true, then find the office manager and politely ask for guidance on how to handle this. You said you were relatively new to the office; she may know things you don't about how that office works.
