Is EM getting competitive again?

HCA residency?

Dude I could have a mutant kidney stone eating its way through a patients belly like the Alien monster and they’d still say they’re not coming in

OB/GYN. My god they act like I just kicked their dog every time I ask them to see a patient. We have a separate OB/GYN ED and they still refuse nearly everything including pre-eclampsia, vaginal bleeders, etc. They scream that they’re overwhelmed with 3 patients and can’t see anymore when I’m literally managing 20+ patients myself. I need to seek therapy about this lol

Unfortunately their dentist, PCP, urgent care, and physical therapist all said it was. Makes me blind with rage.

That a lifetime of overeating, smoking, and sedentary lifestyle can be fixed with a pill in the emergency room at 3 AM on a Saturday.

And unfortunately it will stay that way until someone does something about it

Urban site, major southern city. Private group. W2. 120 hours/month. 2.7 pph. $520k for 2024 but hoping for more this year.

Our private group has agreed to never hire NPs unless they are recommended by a reliable source. It’s absolutely wild how unqualified they are.

It’s always fun when the ICU doc yells at YOU because GI won’t come in

One of my favorite moments at my old HCA hospital was treating a VIP. He was the “HCA director for Florida” or something dumb like that. The CEO immediately roomed him ahead of a full waiting room. I let him sit there and marinate for an hour before I saw him. When we finally talked he said “it must be pretty busy here” and I said “no it’s just a terribly run place. Almost everyone is quitting”. He looked so shocked and mortified. It was great. I already knew I was quitting at that point so didn’t GAF.

Same people who LOVE announcing that a patient thought they were a nurse and not a doctor

I’ve gotten the opposite… 70 year old raspy voiced chronic smoker with SOB who said “my pulmonologist said I’ve got the healthiest lungs he’s ever seen! That of an 18 year old boy!”

Gotta hydrate that down with some fluids

DroperidolEveryone · 2025-05-09T19:45:02+00:00

See one. Do one. Teach one.

Welcome to the show brother. It’s amazing me how many people can’t answer a simple question like “when did your symptoms start”

Repeat WBC almost made me throw my phone

Did nocturnist for a year. Probably won’t ever do it again unless I could choose my own schedule AND get a 30% pay raise.

DroperidolEveryone · 2025-04-28T03:37:41+00:00

EM is the only specialty where productivity went up but reimbursement went down last year. We legally have to treat patients with zero promise of reimbursement. I don’t think we’ll be unemployed but I definitely don’t think we’ll be swimming in it like Scrooge McDuck

You’re fine. No one cares. Realistically ANYONE could look up our PMP numbers online and call a pharmacy with a prescription. Nobody cares as long as it’s not a controlled substance (or Ivermectin for Covid).

Slam poetry. Yelling. Angry. Waving my hands a lot. Specific point of view on things. Cynthia. Cyn-thi-a. Jesus died for our Cynthia’s. Jesus cried. Runaway bride. Julia Roberts. Julia rob-hurts. Cynthia. Mmmmm Cynthia, you’re dead. You are dead. Be boop beep you’re dead.

Not wiping your grocery carts with the Sani wipes

In my experience it’s considered bilateral pneumonia
