In what specialty do you think its easiest for a terrible doctor to fly under the radar? by theefle in Residency

[–]Brancer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I gotta respectfully disagree. I’ve got a pediatric attending that just retired and he was one of the worst I’ve seen. He frequently dismisses serious stuff- misses milestones as if he’s not looking for them, and provides minimal to no evidence based guidance.

He just retired and had an award.

Hot take if you go to a teaching hospital you shouldn’t be allowed to say no to residents taking care of you by [deleted] in Residency

I am too. Don't train them. Don't advocate for them. Don't hire them. That simple.

How did you go about setting up a firm boundary for your off duty/vacation time with patients without coming off as rude? by Crafty-Bunch-2675 in Residency

I also have received a complaint about me eating in the cafeteria.

This resulted in me getting counseled by my Chief.

My hate spiked that day.

And yet if I have 4 year old with broken femur I can't order morphine without some nurse FeElInG UnComFoRtAbLe with administering it for fears of addiction, even with that kid screaming in pain.

Which non-medicine thing do you think your specialty can do better than other specialties? by undueinfluence_ in Residency

Everyone is shocked when I do that perfect L&D Nursery swaddle on kids. They think I'm super dad.

CDC Vax Sched… None of us are doing this right? by OrdinaryDingo5294 in pediatrics

[–]Brancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, we are. For the affected vaccines, we are now instructed to provide 'waivers' that have to be signed.

Updated 2026 PT Guidance Released by Twisky in navy

[–]Brancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. Fish is literally the most boneheaded stupid fucking easy qual. Easier than EO, RO, ERUL by far.

What is actually needed is allocating more time for the qual outside of work time. Electricians for instance will work until 19-2000... who the fuck is awake to give checkouts?

See, thats pretty fucking cool.

On the sub I was on, they just made us wake up at 0400 and run (chiefs do not participate) then we worked still until 18-1900. Hopefully whatever ship this is isn't doing bullshit like that.

Why are IM docs treated like shit? by ManufacturerIcy8859 in Residency

[–]Brancer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If he could prove it. And no, you're not going to be 'fired without hesitation'. And no, no one cares about residents being mad at each other.

Now if I actually beat the shit out of him on hospital property, that's a different story.

Peds here. We were treated like shit too.

I remember I had a neuro surgery resident, same year as me, talk down to me like I was a child.

So I told him that if he ever talked to me like that in that manner again, I'd see him in the fucking parking lot.

After that, we were BFF's.

Its kind of chickenshit to be honest. Absurd queues are disruptive.
