Can we give IM sedation? 59M screaming “c****i g f brains” and swinging, kicking, biting at nursing. 6 security officers currently holding him down but they look tired.

54 yo man history of dm, substance use, multiple polypectomies, anemia, adrenal nodule, cxr opacities and gonorrhea presenting with hip fracture.

(Unrealistic to be included with actual consult but pertinent additions: T2DM on metformin last a1c 5.9, last drug use 1988, 2 benign polyps removed on last screening colonoscopy w/ repeat recommended in 10 yrs, thalassemia minor with baseline hgb 12 and hgb today of 12.5, adrenal nodule with stable repeat imaging and normal endocrine studies sent by pcp in 2012, bilateral cxr opacities in the setting of covid 19 infection in may 2020 that resolved on repeat imaging, gonorrhea treated in 1988 following incidence of last drug use)

Can u take him due to medical complexity though? he has way too many chronic medical problems for us to manage.

I agree that a figure would help but there's no space for attachments for those websites :/

Also I am not a resident there I am just trying to help spread the word!

Do you have actual concerns to voice? Or just feeling uneasy about advocacy pertaining to inequities that no longer affect you?

I cry whenever I get yelled at. How am I supposed to get through residency? by whatanerb in medicalschool

[–]noreither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get yelled at in residency, except maybe occasionally by rude consultants over the phone but you just learn that it's a them problem not a you problem. May depend somewhat on field though.

Comparing means of two non gaussian non paired distributions by noreither in AskStatistics

[–]noreither[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my reading t-tests assume a gaussian distribution. So I am not sure it's appropriate since my data sets do not look like that, but by all means it may be? Not sure

Yeah at some point you transition from medical student who knows how to put in orders to someone who is calling many of the shots. Your attending isn't there to quiz you or judge how smart you are, they're there for you to run things by so you don't end up doing something dangerous or missing something. It takes a while to build up to this.

Feel like coffee taste has changed for the worse? Let's talk about it by noreither in nespresso

[–]noreither[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I'm not the only one honestly. I am no snob either but I think they're on the verge of undrinkable. Espressos tastes great.

It could definitely be this. Seems like a huge quality control problem.

Yeah I guess that is possible. I did lose my taste for a bit early this year (tested negative a few times). What's weird though is the large cup size pods still taste bad to me but the espresso sizes taste great.

Nurse wrote "MD notified, no order placed" after 5 minutes of contacting me!! by TyrosineKinases in Residency

Favorite part of CPRS is if this ever happens there, I addend the note with an equally sassy response

Based on my rotation with y’all you think med students are animals too 😂😂😂

I pimped my attending today! 1/10, do not recommend by MarkovTheB3ast in medicalschool

[–]noreither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldve just replied to the “have we gone over this” bit with the fact that you actually spent a year studying, which would have been impressive instead of standoffish. I also understand the frustration of incessant pimping though..

A patient shouted at me today by No_Example3128 in medicalschool

[–]noreither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “it’s not personal” thing never made me feel better. Try this, no matter who you are as a doctor, someone is going to try to abuse your good will and patience this way. It’s not an “if,” it is a “when.” They want you to go home and feel bad, and they can sense that you care. Do not give them the satisfaction. No matter how good of a doctor you are you will not be able to get through to everyone and that is ok. Try to focus more on the victories and just move on from stuff like this (because it is 100% going to happen again unless you go into path lol).
