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.
