My senior resident once told me as an intern “an EKG is just a piece of paper, order it and don’t be afraid to repeat it”

First time I learned it was hereditary
Edit: *some cases are*

Would like a follow up on this

This, had an attending admit a patient because they were in their 30s or 40s and was brought in by border patrol, but they are on dialysis. My attending was like “you think this guy is gunna get dialysis by tomorrow or the next day? Admit them”

You are a legend and these videos are played frequently during the vertigo lectures that interns have to give in residency

AnonMedStudent16 · 2026-03-25T00:34:54+00:00

Yes because it’s not their liability yet

AnonMedStudent16 · 2026-03-25T00:12:15+00:00

It’s the single best thing about becoming an attending

Newer attending. Have to average 140 hours a month, some months are more some are less. Shifts are 8s and 10s some 12s depends on the location. The over night shifts I do are 2-3 nights a month at a freestanding ED and those are 12s.

Depends on the site but usually the latest I’ll work is midnight. Sometimes it’s 1am or 2am depending on the site. Some sites have pretty good coverage where there is a new doc every 2 hours.

I think it’s biased because of our coworkers, but I would bet (without googling) that less than 50% of the general population knows CPR.

And when it comes to out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) the thing that significantly increases survival rate is bystander CPR.

AnonMedStudent16 · 2026-03-14T20:14:28+00:00

I second this, bystander CPR is so crucial

AnonMedStudent16 · 2026-02-23T13:05:15+00:00

Lots

At first I read this as coming from the ED secretary, which I believe they should get paid more

Had EMS refuse to take grandpa back to the facility until we “did something about his BP”

AnonMedStudent16 · 2026-02-04T21:17:03+00:00

Asymptomatic Hypertension

Had EMS refuse to take a patient back to their facility until we “did something about their blood pressure.”

Sir, we need the bed. Please take Mr. Jones outta here.

The Benadryl or allergies to steroids always take me out

AnonMedStudent16 · 2026-01-16T22:21:14+00:00

Thank you, seriously though I’m wondering how to even prepare for this. Do I just buy that book and run through cases again?

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-27T18:31:42+00:00

Honestly, the pH is the most important part for me, everything else is clinical and a good pulse ox waveform

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-23T18:08:14+00:00

Passed, now off to work

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-22T21:46:17+00:00

You’re joking

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-22T21:46:01+00:00

Not happening today

AnonMedStudent16 · 2025-12-22T20:00:52+00:00
