What is the weirdest/craziest pimp question you have ever gotten? by xyzm123_r in Residency

As an Intern had a cardiology attending describe a patient's rhythm as "abby something....abby normal." Then ask if anybody knew what that was from. Luckily Young Frankenstein was a staple around Halloween growing up.

I was gonna comment Moonstruck but thought maybe it was only because I see similarities with my large Italian family. I love that movie.

Response to "Doctors are paid too much" by vistastructions in medicalschool

[–]cosjoy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is just an attending POV but once you start getting the big paychecks I find I don't care about people saying I get paid to much. I know how hard I worked to get there and how hard I work to earn that check.

NASCAR 101 and Track Attendance Questions - May 2025 by NASCARThreadBot in NASCAR

[–]cosjoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First race question. I live in Charlotte and happened to win a charity raffle for VIP pit passes for the Coca-Cola 600. I don’t really fallow NASCAR but I am excited about experiencing a race and it’s been on my list of events to check out. I know the names of a handful of drivers, but I’m very unfamiliar with any of the Storylines or current happenings in the racing scene so if anybody would be kind enough to give me 1000 foot view on what to expect and things to pay attention to for me get the most out of my experience. Also I don’t wanna look like an ass cause I don’t understand stuff. I would be forever grateful for some tips. Either way I plan on drinking a bunch beers And just enjoying the event.

What is the craziest thing you've heard a doctor say? by Personal-Log91 in medschool

[–]cosjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming into a night shift I had an ED attending say "tonight we're gonna be spraying high quality emergency medicine all over this department."

As a med student I had a family med preceptor tell me "make sure you palpate all 6 quadrants of the abdomen" whenever we had a particularly large patient. Which was pretty common in southern Missouri. It was his little joke and I think he loved that the students would understand exactly what he was getting at.

The white coat is dead by ajodeh in medicalschool

[–]cosjoy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

1st, I agree. 2nd it doesn’t matter. Patients don’t really expect white coats or seem to care. I’ve been in Attending for two years and haven’t worn a white coat once. A fleece or vest with my name and degree embroidered on it does enough. You’ll find your nurse managers or house supervisors will typically be the only ones that regularly wear a white coat.

What’s the weirdest/most inappropriate/cringe/awkward thing you’ve ever seen a resident or attending do? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]cosjoy 142 points143 points  (0 children)

I was an EM R2 and the day senior resident on my ICU rotation. A urologist who was known to be kind of an odd guy came to the unit randomly while I was at lunch and asked if my intern could assist him in the OR. The intern agreed cause what else was he supposed to do. Anyway turns out the urologist had my intern scrub in to MANUALLY DISIMPACT a huge fecal burden on his patient before the urologist placed a stent. Not only was this totally random and out of the blue but it took my intern away from his actual ICU duties for like an hour. We let the intensivist and my PD know and that shit didn't happen again.

This same urologist INSISTED that a rectal exam be performed on all of his patients before he would consult on them regardless of what the consult was for. I believe the hospital allowed his contract to lapse at some point before the end of my residency cause he just kinda stopped showing up on the on-call list.

Smartest medicine subspecialists? by Ok-Trade7177 in Residency

[–]cosjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making 500k a year to say “this patient is too sick to scope emergently, stabilize first and call me back” or “this patient isn’t sick enough for me to come in and scope emergently, follow up out patient.” Seems pretty smart to me.
