View Full Version : If you had to pick only one thing about EM... JackBauERfan 02-13-2006, 08:29 PM that you like, what would it be. I know we've had questions like this in interviews maybe, but just want to see the top reason why folks pick EM. For me, its the variety of patients.

I am almost 100% of the time joking around and having a great time with the nurses/staff because we all have the same cynical pseudo-erotic sense of humor (atleast where I'm doing residency). I sure am hoping its the same way up north.

GeneralVeers 02-13-2006, 10:19 PM The best part is that although I have to see in the ED Mrs. Smith who is a 40 year old white female with fibromyalgia, depression, bipolar, and methamphetamine abuse for her back pain x 4 years, I can turf her, and don't have to see her on a weekly basis like her PCP does. southerndoc 02-13-2006, 10:58 PM no rounding!!!

ERMudPhud 02-14-2006, 11:23 AM 1. figuring out the diagnosis based on very limited information 2. emergent procedures 3. what generalveers said (sorry thats 3 things but oh well) Coach 02-14-2006, 11:36 AM cause the chicks dig it southerndoc 02-14-2006, 01:01 PM cause the chicks dig it Not as much as surgery though. Our surgery colleagues have a higher chick factor. turtle,md 02-14-2006, 03:01 PM Not as much as surgery though. Our surgery colleagues have a higher chick factor. That may be true, but we have more time to f/u (if you know what I mean, wink wink, nudge nudge :D ) Jeff698 02-14-2006, 06:08 PM That may be true, but we have more time to f/u (if you know what I mean, wink wink, nudge nudge :D ) And someone has to take care of the surgeon's women since they're in the hospital all the time. Take care, Jeff colforbinMD 02-14-2006, 06:08 PM Not as much as surgery though. Our surgery colleagues have a higher chick factor. That may not be true. I can count the numbers of surgeons I have met who can talk to women on one hand. Maybe things are different where you are but where I am surgeons are at the bottom of the barrel as far as the ladies are concerned. (excluding the ortho studs of course) JackBauERfan 02-14-2006, 06:17 PM 1. figuring out the diagnosis based on very limited information 2. emergent procedures 3. what generalveers said (sorry thats 3 things but oh well) Yes, only supposed to state one :) But I might have to change mine to chicks too....na, i'll stick with diversity....maybe diversity of hot chicks.... la gringa 02-14-2006, 08:05 PM i'll echo just about everyone above - except, being female, maybe being an ED doc is more of a negative than a positive when it comes to the guys... oh, and you don't have to fill out those awful disability papers (those in IL know what i mean!) or deal with home health, placement, etc. |
