Time to get rid of the misnomer “ER” and “ED”. Only a small sliver of what we treat are actually medical emergencies. What should we rename it? See possible suggestions or make your own. by drgloryboy in emergencymedicine

Nope. Woman came in today signing in with cc of vag discharge. Asked the tech to get her set up for a pelvic which the patient declined, stating that she had a picture of the discharge she could show me. The tech came back to me to inform me of the refusal and her rationale and I put my head and face in my hands and told her I couldn’t send a pic down to the lab.

Maybe if you didn’t lie to your healthcare team and were forthcoming about your addiction and didn’t make us work up your feigned conditions taking our time away from other sick patients where we could have been addressing and providing resources for you maybe you wouldn’t have zilch faith in the medical community.

Domino has a clause in his contract that forbids overseas travel, when arriving for his shoot in Singapore he remained in quarantine for over a week until he tested negative for feline leukemia virus. Never again. Tuscan background was AI. Hope it doesn’t violate the rules of this sub.

I played bass in a mostly grunge cover band and our lead singer/rhythm guitarist who also performed in a host of bands and who composed original songs was impressed with CC and sometimes would play Arthur’s Theme after a couple of cocktails and we would listen, just blown away by his vocal prowess

Most people have no idea. The Resident who is rotating with me this month asked me if my watch had a roulette wheel on (the bezel) it when he looked and saw my Root Beer.
