EM is heavily romanticized by the media and has its appeal of solving acute illnesses with quick real-time information. To be honest, the media certainly had a tinge of effect on my interest. EM is very to-the-point and builds very short-term yet meaningful patient relationships that I find attractive. Did EM become monotonous and lose its novelty that was once felt as an undergraduate for you? I imagine myself being excited every now and then as an EM physician and was wondering if that fantasized excitement and high would eventually dull itself and that I would eventually become jaded. If my conceptions are true, how do you spice up your days, aside from continued, informal, independent education?
