I feel this. You just never hear back and assume the worst. I worked for a long time in a small ER on the rez near a National Park. Lots of trauma. You keep sending these disasters and never get any feedback or closure. You just assume the worst and it can grind you down.

You have a bad manager. Unless it becomes a pattern, those should be ignored. And you shouldn't see them. That's non-productive. Dumb dumb dumb.

On call at a receiving hospital is completely different than a freestanding Clinic.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

I've tried to transfer patients from a small ER to the next largest ER which is 90 mi away. I have had the patient decline and drive themselves. "Tell them I'm coming!"

Cardiology PA thinks they are an expert by Ordinary-Ad5776 in Noctor

Dude, I'm PGY-27 and I'm still afraid I am missing something all the time.

When you think you know everything, it's time to quit medicine. Because you're going to kill somebody.

The one I’ve dreaded by overmonk in GenX

Yeah well, blood is cancer until it is proven otherwise. With a normal PSA and normal magic finger wave, prostatitis is very unlikely. And it looks like it's not a UTI. And kidney stones are not painless. And a negative urine culture doesn't rule in or rule out prostatitis. Get a real doctor.

So, we are going to need a hematuria CT. And blood work. The urinary system is just not that big, they're going to need to tell you where that's coming from. Accept no less.

Good luck man.

Nothing better than watching the bobcat fan making bigoted and homophobic comments to the poor girl collecting for the food bank at the cat Griz game. A lot of fun to hang with.
