Hey guys, almost done with intern year and I've only had one real ED month so far (off service requirements, ugh). So my question is when did you guys stop presenting every little patient before putting in orders? I'm sure this is very attending dependent but I feel like they get annoyed with me when I have a new patient to present. I'm trying to see between 15 and 20 in a 12 hour shift so I guess I just get tired of going up to them every so often and telling them about my patient with a cold and their white count which is obviously fine so they can be discharged. Point is, when do most attendings expect you to start doing more without constantly updating them, because I'd love that.
