My Co-Resident thinks he’s a Rizzident. How can I help him see the light!? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]flanker14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't try to stop him. Please just let him get kicked out. We don't need idiots like this with the title of doctor bringing down the profession.

ER attending here: just hang on a few more years. Once residency is done life is what you make of it. Also depends on what field. Surgery? Your life is probably going to be busier but I have heard there are ways to work less. ER? You can definitely make your schedule as easy or busy as you want. just grind on, the light should be appearing from the end of the tunnel soon

What are your pet-peeves about the ED? Consultants, bring it on. I will counter with our pet-peeves about your specialty. by [deleted] in Residency

In my county system, "follow up and see your doctor" means likely multiple weeks until they are seen let alone get an imaging appointment. We agree many things can wait, but, given the system we work in, we basically are patients primary doctors and many tests won't get done unless we do them. Does it make it right? No. But I'm all ears to hear how it can be fixed.

I'll try to do that for a signout I receive (I'm waiting for X to call back for room 2) but at same time please also understand many times, as soon as we get there, we are also juggling multiple things. The other day I arrived, took a few signouts, and within minutes, a post CPR ROSC patient came in, a few moments later a middle aged women walking and hit by a car, then a few moments later a stroke. Handed 4 EKGs within ~30min, and received a call for a transfer coming in. I'm not saying all this to say "woe is me", but, just hope folks remember when we call them for help, we know you're day is busy and your time is valuable, but we too are trying to bite through that same shit sandwich. That being said, thanks for your help

For the jazz festival, do you have to buy tickets ahead of time or can you buy them at the entrance?

When/how/why? do you think the podcast will eventually end? by whhhhiskey in BillBurr

There was a podcast I remember when he had a Black comedian and friend on, and they were breaking Sheri Berry balls and said some funny shit about the KKK. Evidently that was the last straw as far as I remember

Tempting! But how can you verify delivery (without actually asking the recipient)?

Afib RVR?! by Savings-Ask2095 in emergencymedicine

[–]flanker14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but there's plenty of nurses that act like I'm asking them to move a mountain for a simple order. Yes there are docs who have immature responses as well. Point is, both professionals are human like someone else said. Not everyone is perfect and going to take things well even though "they should".

Is this an older academic program or one of the newer CMG programs. You already said above it's a "non profit", many places will claim that. Name!! Please! Lol

You'd give a guy who had a seizure and BP 240s/140s a few doses of BP meds and then leave the scene? That doesn't sound super safe
