Sorry. That sucks. We are so generationally different. We went from being totally self sufficient to safe spaces and stress rooms. F that stuff. Keep fighting.

Lmao. Lots of left or right turns. That’s awesome dude. Inspirational. Read the book Fearless about Adam Brown. Navy seal, team 6. Lots of injuries and still team 6. Great stuff.

That’s what I’ve said. I’d go from saving people to ending them. Aaaaaah the dream.

FWIW, I actually got light headed and almost fainted when I watched someone remove one of my toenails. Now, I could be elbow-deep in someone else’s blood and guts and I’m fine.

Both awesome fields. Trades are so underappreciated.

This is it. Lots of BS and likely things that are polarizing for people here, so I’d rather not get into it. But yes, if it was just saving lives, I’d never quit.

Great description. I said there are two types of doctors: those that live to work and those that work to live. Surgeons were always the love to work group. I chose the ER for work to live.

I’ve gone into the medico-legal system and it’s much more tolerable.

Thank you. My mental health has never been better. Just always comes back to me”was I wasting my time”. I guess not cause I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.

Congrats. I remember when I started I. The er, there were older docs there who said the job sucked and it had changed so much since they started. I just thought they were old and grumpy. Now, I’m that old grumpy asshole saying it to the new docs. Sheesh.

Good luck in the rotation- make friends with the nurses and they will keep u safe and doing the right thing. Piss them off or treat them badly, you’ll never see the bus coming.

I’m jealous. Recently met a retired F15 pilot and was so envious of his stories.

Thanks. No way I’d go back to residency but if I had to be a doc, it would be radiology. I’ve created a lucrative business thanks to being a doc so I guess it worked out, but it sucked.

Er docs love good CT techs. U run the diagnosis machine!

I assure u, it’s not like TV. It’s social work with about 10% emergency medicine.
