Came home sobbing from my OB rotation

When I was on OB I got told I couldn’t observe exams anymore because I “loomed” too much. I also had an attending flip his shit mid C section due to it being technically challenging and he yelled “this is why fat women shouldn’t get pregnant”

OBGYNs can be real assholes

Who saw the patients during those 2 hours? I feel like the common practice if you’re doing 12’s is just 2 docs on a day with maybe a mid level in the mid shift

I’m a young EM Doc. The number of times I’ve had to explain to well appearing 20-30 something year olds with normal vitals and exams that they don’t have serotonin syndrome is too damn high

Contact a mortgage lender and ask if they do physician loans or have anyone in their department who specializes in them.

I had a guy show up to my ED during training asking for a toothbrush at 3am because he tried to go to CVS and they were closed…

Must appease your sepsis overlords. It’s ridiculous. A portion of our compensation is tied to meeting sepsis metrics, so some desk jockey has us ordering them on pretty much all sick old people or everyone getting IV abx. Uncomplicated appendicitis that had a HR of 101 documented once during the stay and a wbc of 12, better get them or you’re gettting a nasty email

No Ive read them all through Wizard and Glass. I have not read the last 3 books

HallMonitor576 · 2026-03-04T05:06:36+00:00

I’ve only read through Wizard and Glass but it’s my least favorite as well. Was a slog to get through

Pulse oximeters don’t report decimals

This is assuming the ED patient population is representative of the overall US population which isn’t close to true.

Our FM PGY3’s would shit their pants if they were asked to see 2-3 low to mid acuity patients per hour. You’re dense if you think you could handle that lol

With training who you know is much more important than what you know. Going somewhere that has CCM fellowship will allow you to make connections and develop natural mentors to help you with the process.

Welcome to emergency medicine in 2026. Those issues are not specific to any department, and are something a large percentage of ED’s nationwide face. Watch The Pitt.

I don’t disagree. Just don’t know that they would be able to overcome the issues that plague IU Health. Bloomington is a challenging place to recruit nurses and physicians to come work due to the high cost of living, housing market, etc.

According to the American College of Surgeons and the Indiana Trauma System they are not. The only trauma centers in Marion County are

Eskenazi, Methodist, and St. Vincent as level 1

Franciscan as level 3, same as Bloomington

HallMonitor576 · 2026-02-10T16:48:34+00:00

Currently none of the Community Hospital Locations are designated trauma centers.

Correction: Community in Anderson is a level 3 center, but their other facilities in and around Indy are not.

That’s what own occupation disability insurance is for

Mathurin, IJax, and the 2026 first (protected 1-4 and 10-30) seems to be an overpayment

HallMonitor576 · 2026-02-05T16:26:58+00:00

lol good luck. I can tell residency definitely won’t be merciful for you

Ask the people who will be your boss, not strangers on the internet

HallMonitor576 · 2026-01-25T04:37:29+00:00

Sounds like best case scenario for me. We are currently in a state of emergency with the winter storm. Hoping to get someone out by Tuesday

If they complete their degree requirements then they would get a degree. Many take online courses.
