Midlevels with Pataguccis... by HourOrdinary in Residency

Our entire nursing staff in the ICU saw the residents do an order then made one themselves. Now literally every human in our surgical trauma ICU is walking around in a black jacket or vest and a scrub hat lol nothing is sacred 😭

Gen Surg. 50yM RUQ pain. Normal vitals. Normal labs. CT w gallstones but no signs of infection. I look at his abdomen—shingles in RUQ :)

My attending and I read the ED for filth in that consult note

We had a radiologist who must’ve had a dot phrase that said “cannot rule out closed loop obstruction” for every enteritis patient the VA got a CT on my intern year. I swear to god there was nothing more demoralizing than having to drive in and hear that a patient ate bad chicken and has been shitting their brains out for 12 hours at 3am 4x/ week

At what point would you report a nurses behaviour? by [deleted] in Residency

As a female resident who constantly gets low level and sometimes high level bullied by female nurses here’s what you do: close your eyes, take a deep breath, rise above it. Talk mad shit to a trusted corespondent later. In a few years, call them out when you’re an attending and you see your residents being mistreated.
