I thought I could handle anything with fellowship, but I'm finding that the dumb consults on hematology are killing me.
Intern: "Patient is here with sepsis, just got chemo 2 days ago. We want you on board. We don't have any question and he's rock stable."
Attending: "How do I use a DOAC, again?" -- Sure let me uptodate that for you.
Surgeon: "This patient must have a bleeding disorder! I never saw bleeding like this before." [2 hours later, arterial bleed is localized]
I know this is temporary, and I realize that as a community doc this is the stuff that puts your kids through college, but as a fellow it makes me want to jump off a very tall structure... Maybe the Burj Khalifa.
