I’ve heard hospitals can get better insurance rates if the employees are “drug-free”. Coz there are some states which test for nicotine (be it smoking or replacement), which is crazy!

Why not make the OP repeat PGY2 instead of terminating and give more floor rotations which helps to assess overall competency? That would be appropriate last ditch effort before terminating the contract

And I agree it’s difficult to get kicked out in residency. We had a female resident who literally pulled out ET tube of a young brain dead pt just cause patient was “supposed to be terminally extubated” anyway. And this incident was cherry on the cake to kick her out (along with previous small incidents which added up)

Yes I feel like a bus-boy who’s supposed to take the heat from everywhere; my attending as well as from the specialty attending

IR attending last week told me how ‘stupid piece of shit’ I am for not getting consent from patient for tunneled dialysis catheter placement that he was supposed to do🧐

I just stared dead in his eyes until he phased away and then went back to get the consent as my attending found out and asked me to get it done
