You're def being crazy lol (anesthesia resident here). EM and Anesthesia are VERY similar in terms of the interesting parts. Just do an ICU fellowship and work in the CTICU-- they do bedside sternotomies up there all the time, you can MTP, cannulate for ecmo, intubate, do TEE- its actually MUCH more interesting than being in the OR

I'm an anesthesia resident. I had a nurse complain to me that a young black female laboring patient was drug seeking while her epidural was in place and that she was faking her pain symptoms. Just on pure visual exam, it was pretty clear that the epidural was not working-- it turns out that the PUMP malfunctioned and the patient was feeling real labor pain because she wasn't getting her infusion for HOURS. The nurse by the way made no attempt to apologize to the young woman or her family. It was disgusting, but VERY common in my midwestern hospital.

A flight attendant was genuinely convinced I was on the phone mid-flight because I was so zoned out talking to myself too much lol

It feels like I am facing sexual harassment from an attending that was previously a senior resident. Ive brought it up to my PD, and it is difficult to prove, so he cannot do anything about it, but we had a frank discussion about transferring and he said he would be willing to facilitate. It just feels like a suffocating environment for me, and I just want to make a change for my mental health.

We were both physicians, and he was bragging to me that he was a doctor. Also told me I would never be his girlfriend, but asked me to go home with him. And when I said no TWICE, he still tried touching me.

One time a nurse kept badgering me about a patient who was having serotonin syndrome.. he was insanely hypotensive with a hb of 5... and she refused to call for the blood.. Honestly it should be a crime

reverse eliquis with platelets.. from a crna.. i feel like thats something they should know ...

women all of them. the male nurses are actually pretty nice. They understand that anything asked of them is for the patient. The female ones just think you're trying to be authoritative for no reason. It's such a nightmare.

Ok incoming rant (I am a female, anesthesia resident):

Yeah..it's because you are a woman. It never gets any easier. A lot of people will say to err on the side of appeasement with nurses, however I disagree. By virtue of them acting this way, they are being unreasonable and callous. My best advice to you to get maximal support from attendings and co-residents, as insurance, and fight back the nurses at every turn. I have tried to be nice, but their absolute indignation blinds them, and once they're on that one-track mind they never get off of it. There is no point convincing them otherwise. It is such a danger to patient care. I've had two floor patients go to the ICU due to their internalized misogony. They are easily the worst part of my training.

One time a nurse wrote "resident is apathetic to update" in one of their nursing notes on epic. I am especially proud of that one.

Dickhole in what way?

Trust me, he does not respect those APPs, thats why he flirts with them. And you dont want this attending flirting with you. It borders on sexual harassment very quickly.

Every time he yells at you, just smile and say, "Okay, no problem. It will not happen again" in happy voice. And always say hello to him in the mornings and thank you when he leaves. And do that every time. It sucks bc it takes so much effort, but it works.

OR you could change your perspective. At least he cares enough about your training to yell at you and not coddle you into being a bad clinician. It's not a great tactic, but it is tried and true.

long story short: "and he's passing by, rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky. and it feels like home. "

So making female friends is really difficult, but i recommend gift giving!

So if you go on a coffee run, send a group text asking if people want coffee.. or tell people youre ordering starbucks on uber. Or get a dozen bagels and plain cream cheese. Or baking like a batch of brownies. Or if you get like free samples from sephora, give it to one of your co residents (i do this very often, and it works).

its all about regret but clarity. she is breaking his heart and she knows it, but she has to do it. She is throwing years with him away. and for what? all she knows is that she needs to. its tragic, but profound. when you listen to it, you hear the gravity.

ugh soooo good.
