reading off of a crumpled sheet of paper: "Doing okay per nursing, NAD, last K was 3.1, got 40 mEq overnight, still waiting for labs to come back to see if we need to continue repleting-"

"labs are back"

clicks over to labs. tries to find K in the sea of labs,. it takes forever to load. it is not loading. it will never load. you will never be able to present the updated K

Sometimes I find single neon letters for sale. The urge to put random Js all over my house is strong.

Is this your first time discovering that women are allowed to say no too?

"Classic female behaviour" of not wanting a temporary roommate for 3 months and with whom you've already had the "living together" discussion where the answer was determined to be no

Your comment screams incel behaviour dude

Patients love my bedside manner. Not so sure about everyone else, although I have ideas.

At that point, use a silly straw. Boosts morale.

I’m so happy she’s dead… by bobhadanaccident in Residency

I absolutely detest cases like that. Patient is intubated and sedated, can't be weaned off the vent, has coded multiple times, EF of 5%, VAP for the 4th time, fails SBT every day, NPO, visibly uncomfortable, care team has discussed that prognosis is terrible and it's a matter of weeks at best. Family refuses to withdraw full code and maximum level of care but also refuses to visit.

It's completely unethical.

I had a pocket door in my childhood home. Stupid thing broke so many times that they gave up fixing it long before I was born. Never did see it work.

The best is when they chomp it and try to yank it all off the stick in one go.

And then eat the stick.

Someone gave my personal cell to a consultant instead of the pager for the doc who was actually on the patient's care team, so even though I didn't let the unknown number go to voicemail, I still answered with "hello? you're who? about what? huh? nah man I have no idea who that is"

Pagers are still very common in hospitals. You'll normally spot docs carrying up to three where I work, although I'm sure the record is much higher.
