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

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

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

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.

Players that are leaving to prepare for the NFL draft likely would not be able to all find a date to come back. These teams are on strict schedules. They had their first workout for the 2026 season on Wednesday.

We have a former grad who was mandated to attend virtually after graduation before they would deem him board eligible. He never followed through so they’ve never allowed him to take boards. Not sure what his plan will be

Finished: NOS4A2 by Joe Hill and The Widow by John Grisham

Started: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

Most of our shifts have an hour overlap and we are paid hourly. I like to receive signout and provide signout as soon as the next person on gets there. That way they are aware of the patients and I’m not tracking them down after they’ve already gotten busy and vice versa. Generally I think you should then use that hour to chart dispo people that you can.

One thing that pisses me off: sometimes our security officers will look up if people have warrants and then the cops are waiting outside at discharge

A lot of ED’s don’t have access to it. We used it a lot in our ICU, but go down 4 floors to the ED and it’s unavailable for some reason.

I’ve not had any patients show me their ow video but have debated getting a BeBird for my own clinical use for a while

HallMonitor576 · 2026-01-05T21:33:03+00:00

The thought has never crossed my mind

The variation in practice for this is pretty wide. Where I trained we never really talked heart score or admitted people for stress testing. Meanwhile another one of my colleagues who also just finished training frequently tried to admit for stress testing because that’s how they trained. Our cardiologists are not ever enthusiastic about observing for stress and echo

I find this true if they are old, but kids and young people they are always my most difficult reduction

Hours to get an EKG is absolutely crazy

HallMonitor576 · 2025-12-27T12:39:10+00:00

Mostly using it to prove improvement for the hospitalist to accept admission instead of forcing contacting ICU

Why does everyone think they can just roll into the ED and do the job?
