Scenario: I'm at work 0530, 2h b4 my 1st case, finished setting up the room, and even went and saw my post-ops while waiting for my pt to get to pre-op.
Me: Goodmorning Doctor x
Attending: Goodmorning teep.
Me: I have my room ready to go or a general or MAC, but I think this 1st case may be ok with an ax block, and MAC... whaddya think.
Attending: I've decided to put you in with one of the CRNA's b/c it's illegal for me to add an extra room.
Me: Hmm. So what changed from yesterday.
Attending: It was a really slow day.
Me: Ok
Me (thought): Did this chump just sell me out for a cuppla extra bucks?
So I got to spend the day with an anal nurse who refused to let me touch the pt, and wanted to go in to the pathophys of common conditions (btw it's quite alarming to see how little they really know about pathophys) while talking down to me b/c she has 7 yrs anes experience blah, blah, blah...
Maybe I'm over-reacting, and someone here can set me straight, but this is my golden opportunity to learn, and I'm getting the impression I'm getting sidestepped. Also, getting there, doing all the scut, and then some, and then spending the day licking the sac of a nurse doesn't seem like a very educational way to do residency.
If I'm right, though, when I'm chief I'll be changing things around in that CRNA factory.
