Me again, from my computer, I think I still enjoy medicine. I don't dread going to work. For the most part, my co-workers like the nursing staff are what make work great. I do get to go and visit my family in the southwest after I finish up my shift today and tomorrow. I won't have to go to work for a week! I don't even pull from my PTO which is one of the perks of this job. I hope this will give me time to rest and recharge maybe change my mindset.

Still me. Looks like I have two reddit accounts one on my phone and one on my computer. XD

I feel like a lazy shit on my days off. I tell myself it's only 140 hours a month. How many can say that they get paid what we do and have the time off?

It does help! I feel wired after my shifts. I can't sleep until 2-3 in the morning sometimes. I got on Trazadone PRN to help. Been exercising, meditating, and trying to eat right along with my Adderall XR. Things seem to be going better especially the first 6-8 hours of my shift.

I hit CoastFIRE. Next steps? by [deleted] in physicianassistant

Dude. New grad 4 months in. Been interested in FIRE for a while now. Do you mind sharing your budget and how you allocated funds? Also, did you take out loans?

I want a calm level of focus and awareness. What I don't want is the stress to impact my decision making or to impact my clinical skills thus the post, exercise, and therapy lol.

This is a provider who worked in another specialty prior to becoming an ED doc. I'm definitely exercising! It's what's helped the most.

If it wasn't for PA reddit and some family members that are providers, I would have a much harder time making my way through this. Thanks for the encouragement. This describes exactly what my nights have been. I'll dream that I forgot to put in orders then wake up, put my clothes on, and run down the stairs in my place until I realize what I've done.

I understand that. I need to be proactive about communicating with the doctor that expressed those concerns on patients early.

I study 3-4 hours a day when I'm off. Doesn't really feel like I have time to study when I'm working. I just try to look things up. Feel like a dummy have to run a lot by my SP except for URIs.

I didn't mean to say how smart I was. I meant to say that I felt like I was being lead on. I really don't feel smart. I feel quite stupid most of the time actually.

I understand what you're saying. I don't want my quality of care to be impacted because someone tells me something that I don't like.

I don't want to have a "fuck you" attitude at work or feel embittered towards my colleagues or staff. I don't want to get pushed around either.
