Roughly half of discharged patients get scripts. The computer prints them out at all the places I've worked, but there is paper backup.1) How often do EM doctors write prescriptions? If so, do you have your own pad or do you use computers to print the prescription and sign it?
No, I work inside. I also don't wear scrubs most of the time.2) In cold weather, do many people use thermal pants under the scrubs?
Working for a corporate group has not made one difference in how I feel at work, and has no effect on my home life. The big groups are usually independent contractor, so you need someone who can do your taxes. As far as the quality of the work environment, the group can't control the nursing, or the CMO, or many other things. They may attempt to influence it, but it's a separate set of rules. Most of us are satisfied, and the benefit of being in a bigger group is that when someone is sick, there is a bigger pool of people to pull from. Truly it all comes down to not dreading to go to work. You can have a great group and a terrible hospital, or a great hospital and a terrible group, and all variations in between. It is up to each individual to figure out what is best for them.Thank you, Dr.McNinja, for your answers. I was actually wanting to know more about how this will effect the attendings' lives, salaries, work environment quality, and satisfaction in these groups as this happens.
I've worked a few jobs in retail in really bad neighborhoods where something like this would often happen. After the initial shock and disappointment, I learned to laugh it off.
