IDK, I am just saying that I've seen wild, crazy-eyed patients in ED, ICU, etc. Sometimes it takes a boatload of people to keep some of these guys down. As for psych, the padded rooms are kind of badass.
I know a psychiatrist that does forensic stuff--it's wild--different, but wild. Badass is relative I guess.
Surgeries like CV, General, Neuro, and Trauma, they will always be considered badass; b/c, well, they are--and they beat the hell out of people getting there--so between that and their work, especially if they are good, yea, they deserve to be called badass.
Fetal surgery, now what about that?
But I also say that anyone that saves or helps others on a regular basis is badass. I have a more open and liberal definition I guess.
But I do give way to surgeons, having worked with them--all the crap they take and do--they earn the title. But to the surgical resident that constantly throws all the first dressing remains, bloody red, on the ICU flow, would you please GET that this is not the ED or a Trauma room! I'm busy too, so at least toss them on a blue pad or somewhere close to a biohazard bag. LOL. (This was on evening rounds and there was nothing big cooking anywhere--according to the other surgical resident.)
