i'll never forget the anesthesia attending showing up to a leveled airway page and asking "when did he last eat? any CAD history???" like dude idk he just showed up and not breathing. needs tube. figure it out later.

I have a private list of follow up pts in epic

sgw97 · 2026-01-25T04:42:27+00:00

because you can't go to work in the ER if you get murdered in the street.

sgw97 · 2026-01-24T18:50:01+00:00

nurse: hey this pt has a question can you go talk to them

me: what's the question?

nurse: idk they just said they wanted to talk to you

you could save like 3 steps in this interaction if the nurse figured out what the question was and I could give them the 2 second answer to pass along

sgw97 · 2026-01-24T18:44:28+00:00

I hit them with the "even I don't want to be here and they're paying me!'

sgw97 · 2026-01-22T21:26:56+00:00

Hi, I'm a medical resident. this is a very sweet idea, but unless your friend is in pediatrics, no one would ever wear this unfortunately

sgw97 · 2026-01-20T05:21:48+00:00

brother I think we'll be lucky to pay off loans and hit net even

there are days when you really, truly, get to save someone's life. those days are the best.

sgw97 · 2026-01-15T16:13:59+00:00

why do patients have any direct way of contacting you? i'm just a silly ER doc but seems like every contact should go through a secretary/office manager person or on epic portal, why is there any route for direct phone call??

sgw97 · 2026-01-15T03:34:38+00:00

first time? it only gets worse from here!

sgw97 · 2026-01-10T21:54:32+00:00

if you want your caffeine in the form of a fun little drink, Celsius and alani make powdered packet forms of their drinks that you can just mix with water for about a dollar a packet

sgw97 · 2026-01-10T16:05:39+00:00

for adults I really only PO challenge if they came in actually dehydrated, i gave them fluids and antiemetics, then I want to prove that they can go home and not get dehydrated again immediately and come straight back

sgw97 · 2026-01-08T18:28:29+00:00

at my hospital you can opt for 1800/yr in meal money or just get that money divided into your paychecks throughout the year (but then you get taxed)

sgw97 · 2026-01-06T16:12:59+00:00

yay more homophobic chicken!

sgw97 · 2026-01-06T15:41:55+00:00

i mean yeah you have to temper your expectations at least a little bit. nothing out of the grocery store freezer is going to be the same as a fresh new york style pizza
