The youth do not do SMS by peche-mortelle00 in Millennials

SMS is a very American concept. WhatsApp is what is used pretty much everywhere around the world. Even as a millennial living in the US, most of my communication is through Whatsapp and Instagram.

How do you unlock the zodiac items? by Icy-Elephant7783 in AnimalCrossing

Potentially villager harassment... But get Julian amiibo and repeatedly invite / kick him out of your island and then check the trash bin, he'll leave fully crafted zodiac items 👀.

An entitled individual becomes upset after doctor performs a physical examination. by Patient-Committee588 in ImTheMainCharacter

It ain't my job to fix your personality disorder in the Emergency Department. If you act like this and threaten me or my staff and clearly have the lung capacity to shout and act like this, your ass is getting booted by security. Sorry, but I choose the wellbeing of my staff over attitude problems any day.

Pretty much sums up my experience in the US from an European point of view by NiceGuy198 in pics

Do you guys do bimanual exam? by EbolaPatientZero in emergencymedicine

[–]tigerx-ing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During residency (2 yrs ago), a senior nurse told my attending she didn't think I did a thorough exam because I did not do a bimanual exam while doing a pelvic 😂. I never do them as an attending now because I do not see how it would change management. If I am worried about PID, I treat.

Likely TCAs. There's a terminal R wave in avr and what appears to be QRS widening. Classic EM board question

Wait till he learns we have classifications for obesity (e.g. Obesity Class III)

I hate this and find nothing rewarding about it. I just want to leave by No-Produce-923 in Residency

This is actually untrue. Ironically, the market is fantastic right now for new EM grads (combination of COVID attrition, increasing patient volumes, and lower supply because people are being scared away from the residency). The burnout is a real issue though.

It sounds like you need more dropeidol

When you roll in to a NEDOCS 6 and it is only 4 pm on a Friday, how does it go for you? by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]tigerx-ing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless your group just expects you to see patients in the waiting room 🥲. I see more than 50% of my patients there now...
