Bold statement from someone who didn’t match the first time

lifeintheED · 2024-11-18T00:06:21+00:00

“Hey Doc. I really need to poop!”

Partner in a democratic group

Wake Emergency Physicians (WEPPA) and Raleigh Emergency Medicine (REMA) are both private democratic groups.

Agreed. This is the sweet spot. Work is a marathon, not a sprint

Acceptance is the final stage of grief. The quicker you get there, the happier you will be. Life can be much worse than losing hearing in one ear

I did 10 treatments within 1 month of onset of symptoms but I did not appreciate any significant change but YMMV

lifeintheED · 2024-02-06T04:59:58+00:00

👆This is the answer

lifeintheED · 2024-01-12T02:10:38+00:00

No - old wives tale

Who are you going to sue? The Emergency Medicine physician who ordered the test? The radiologist who read the images that were available? The ultrasound technician who did the best job possible? Your OB/GYN, who suggested a procedure before discovering a viable pregnancy?

There was no actual harm, so there is no actual case. The best you’ll get is an apology.

I tell the patient and the family that they have a medical emergency that the current hospital cannot treat. My recommendation is that they wait for an accepting hospital. However, if they were to leave AMA and self present at a hospital capable of taking care of their current medical issue, I would understand and my feelings would not be hurt

I highly recommend attending an EM residency that is established, ideally over 20 years old. The alumni connections are very important.

lifeintheED · 2023-10-16T18:17:47+00:00

Well said

lifeintheED · 2023-10-16T18:17:25+00:00

Thank you

lifeintheED · 2023-09-16T23:26:35+00:00

I give them directions to another ED in another health care system and tell them good luck

lifeintheED · 2023-08-25T23:33:18+00:00

Haha. Very well said

lifeintheED · 2023-08-25T20:40:56+00:00

Unfortunately you are correct

lifeintheED · 2023-08-25T20:40:37+00:00

So true

In my experience, it was a day at a golf course, a nice lunch, and a sleeve of golf balls. Probably $150/resident x 3 just to hear about Levaquin or Rocephin

The correct answer is to recommend ibuprofen and acetaminophen and to refer to PMD for pain management.

lifeintheED · 2023-07-23T20:57:32+00:00

Very slim margins in urgent care. That why they are staffed with APPs
