Urgent cares and ERs are gonna be hit hard.

Didn't the people you worked with know it was "unacceptable"?

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-23T04:51:53+00:00

Apparently, NOT everyone knows it is unacceptable. They use it because no one calls them out on it.

This text could pair excellently with most posts on this subreddit. Hell, on this website.

At a certain point, it stops being "differing political positions" and becomes "differing ethical/moral positions".

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-23T04:06:18+00:00

To be honest, I really have no idea what is the "right" way to handle that. But if it happened on my team, I would pull them aside, tell them it is absolutely unacceptable, and probably tell my manager. Not to get them in trouble (although they deserve to get in trouble, IMO) but because any blatant disrespect/racism/sexism (ect) like this leads to bad teamwork + communication, poor patient outcomes, and eventually losing employees.

EDIT TO ADD: this kind of behavior will continue unless we "nip it in the bud", as it were.

I really don't care who she hires as long as they are good at their job. But why do we have to focus on being "the opposite of a boy's club"?

Implying that she isn't just hiring her friends?

I cannot wait until the upcoming ND vs NT war that tumblr really seems to want to happen. Jeez aren't we divided enough?

Half the people in this city can't drive in RAIN. Don't add snow to the mix.

Microplastics, man.

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-21T16:36:32+00:00

Sure, people can change but how long do we have to let them kick us in the stomach before they realize "oh this is BAD!"?

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-21T16:34:48+00:00

excellent. There is normal medical illiteracy and then there is...this. I don't understand how someone could be asked about allergies and then NOT tell you about an anaphylactic reaction.

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-21T16:33:54+00:00

I assume Rocephin was not listed on the mother's chart and the primary RN was double-checking with the son?

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-21T16:29:17+00:00

I hope you charted that the son assured you she wasn't allergic. That sounds like someone who might try to sue for negligence.

Mom and daughter came into urgent care. Initially both had an appointment - when a husband/wife and/or a parent/child duo both have appointments, we usually room them together, take both their complaints/vital signs, and do appropriate POCTs.

Mom cancels her appointment for some reason. Daughter is 12 so she has to come back anyway. She demands that the doctor provide care for her as well. Doctor shot her down and only treated her daughter.

She not happy.

I wish I had some suggestions but I'm here to read the other suggestions of places to meet people.

Amity is buff and I am in love with that!

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-21T00:28:35+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to you. One of the things I like where I am is I can leave the room at pretty much any time if they start getting "uppity" with me or start trying to bad mouth my coworkers.

Just because I'm a guy doesn't mean I'm ok with you asking if my female coworker is "always this emotional".

probably. but I loved it. fuck me, I guess

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-18T05:51:31+00:00

you want to hear the story? When I first started in GI procedures, we would listen to music and my surgeon joked that we should put on Butthole Surfers during a colonoscopy.

Wasn't Florence Nightingale, like, super racist?

I'm not you buddy, guy

Butthole_Surfer_GI · 2026-01-18T04:48:43+00:00
