It seems that just about every med student interested in EM has there own fantasy of what their future life in EM will be like.
While these fantasies are often based on some truth, they are quite often based on an equal amount of BS.
What misconceptions irk you the most? What were the biggest realizations/disappointments/pleasant surprises you had when you first made it to the real world of EM?
seriously, so many med students have their heads in the clouds when it comes to EM, quite often myself included, EM provides the opportunity for a lot of personalization and malleability, and the temptation to take that idea of EM to far and to the extremes of possibility are often too strong to resist. Knock our heads down to earth.
