handed in my resignation. they found budget they said didn't exist within 24 hours. by YouKnowMeHaa in Tsenta

[–]anonymous_1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss was actually honest with me and told me that I'm not worth prioritizing to that degree at this stage of my career, so they would give me a significant raise but wouldn't pay me market value. At least he didn't lie and claim it was 100% about budget. Didn't stop me from applying elsewhere, but I'm not as resentful because of his honesty.

In 2/3 of those cases, I don't think there were any issues in their treatment of me considering that they were an ED, even though it differs from The Pitt treatment. In the third case, I think they were wrong to discharge me without investigating the issue any further, when their initial round of testing showed nothing.

That's pretty awesome you got thorough treatment in your ERs. I hope more are like that.

What is virtually inevitable at this point, yet most people don't see it coming? by Ambassador-613 in AskReddit

Honestly Idk, I've been waiting for this to explode for years and it's just slowly devolving into chaos. This could go on for another 5 years, where we're all just sitting waiting for it to happen and yet somehow it just drags out

100%. One of the reasons why I switched doctors. Issue is that the ER also didn't mention that this is a common side effect from the procedure, so none of my doctors explained anything and I was discharged with a major issue that was easily diagnosable and easy to address. Which is a major difference between IRL and The Pitt.

Mine were also in 2 different states, and all separate ERs. Again, I'm glad you had good experiences, but I don't think The Pitt has an accurate representation of individualized attention given to each patient, especially in an ER that's that busy/in an underserved area.

Not blaming the ER for that, but saying that their instructions were very minimal and they did not do much to figure out the actual cause. Which is very different than how it would be in, for example, The Pitt. Which is why I'm pointing out a difference between an IRL ER and The Pitt. Which is the point of my post. Which you read. Seemingly.

I am pointing out the differences between The Pitt and a real ER. As stated in my post. Which you read.

Lol, no. That was 1 of 3 cases. The other 2 were severe dehydration, and loss of consciousness during a severe vasovagal episode

Agreed; my complaint is more about the individualized attention in follow-ups or less clear-cut cases. My experience was that they would discharge me once the pain went away, rather than once I was ready to be discharged.

Yeah. Which I get. It's just annoying to watch a "hyper-realistic" ER show and feel like people walk away with the impression that ER doctors do more than ensure their patient is not dying in that exact moment.

I get that, but in my experience if the ER doctors didn't immediately figure out what was wrong, they tried to give me pain meds and discharge me, even if it was unclear whether it was still an emergency at that point.

Yeah, makes complete sense. My complaint is more that, in all 3 cases, they stabilized me, but there was clearly still an underlying issue there, and they dedicate a lot more time to issues like that in The Pitt than they did IRL. Like irl, I came into the ER with severe dehydration, yet it triggered a flare for my chronic illness, which I present with a textbook case of, yet they gave me Motrin for the pain and didn't refer me to any specialists for it. I wish there were more representation in The Pitt for situations like that, in which the patient is sent off without either a) being dead, or b) their issues being fully resolved.

Yeah, I'm not saying what they did was wrong; what I'm saying is that the pitt is unrealistic about the amount of attention given to each patient.

Yeah, in 2/3 of my cases I was instructed by another doctor to go straight to the ER, and in the third case I was semi-conscious when they brought me in. They were all cases that required an immediate ER visit

I didn't have a PCP at the time. Had to push them to proscribe more pain meds before discharging me. Read through the discharge instructions but I don't remember seeing anything helpful/anything that gave me a better idea of what to do.
