[Dr. Ice]

We got stale eggs and greasy bacon

 

[RM38]

Don’t worry I am sure that thank you pizza will probably be added to your personal overhead.

 

[SSdoc33]

i got a kick in the nuts (symbolically at least)

And then that kick in the nuts will not be covered and you’ll have to pay a facility fee on top of it.

 

[Laryngospasm]

They probably charged the delivery guy an 800$ facility fee

 

[sloh]

At least it’s not a required “physician burnout” session

 

[SSdoc33]

Wait it’s doctors day today?

 

[jsaul]

I surprised it's still called national "doctors" day. Shouldn't it be national providers' day. We need to be be lumped in with the PAs, NPs etc. We are all deliverers of heatlhcare. No one should be made to feel superior or inferior

They all get separate weeks....

 

[manowar rules]

Ugh it’s Papa John’s and the only soda is diet…

 

[pastafan]

Unfortunately, most do not know the history behind doctor’s day.

Doctors’ Day has a special connection to anesthesiology, as it first honored the efforts of Crawford W. Long, M.D.

On March 30, 1842, Dr. Long administered the first ether anesthetic for surgery and operated to remove a tumor from a patient’s neck. After the surgery, the patient revealed that he felt nothing and was not aware the surgery was over until he awoke. Doctors’ Day celebrates Dr. Long’s historic achievement, as well as the continued efforts of all physicians to alleviate human suffering and improve patient safety.

I’m not a provider.

That is offensive.

I’m a caregiver

 

[Laryngospasm]

Ahh so he was a provider too..

[specepic]

I got an $80 bottle of red wine

 

[GlowInTheDark]

We got bagels. My office staff ate them before I was aware we had them.

 

[DOctorJay]

I got a branded toiletry bag

 

[cowboydoc]

I got a bag of popcorn.

 

[SSdoc33]

i literally got nothing. not even an email. i told my wife and she said "every day is doctor's day in your world"

WTF?

 

[MitchLevi]

I used the $100 I won from a recent Glock competition and used it to buy my staff lunch.

WTF?

I always got a rise out of my nurse by frequently stating that while there is only one doctors day every other day is nurses day.

You are able to buy lunch for your staff for a hundred dollars? The other day I let my staff place an order for Thai food and it came out to 150 dollars for 4 people!!! I couldn't beleive it. They all ordered the most expensive **** on the menu. I was pissed

 

[BobBarker]

A lot of times they will order two entrees and an app each. Gotta watch them.

Moral of the story is not to let the staff order.

Just get a party platter from Qdoba or similar

 

[MitchLevi]

BBQ family size

 

[BobBarker]

The Saluda rep has the best system. She calls and asks for a head count, then say that is 10, then she gets 5 lunch beef fajita platters and 5 chicken. So she is out less than $100 and there is no “that isn’t what I ordered” nonsense. She is ordering it from a family owned small place so it’s cheap.

America’s obesity crisis encapsulated

How's everyone being celebrated this year?

 

[Dr. Ice]

We got sandwiches from that gas station that sells food (Wawa) last week

Don't talk about Wawa like that. Their subs are better than 99% of sub shops.
And they used to be a convenience store and dairy. No gas station.

Wawa has cult status in NJ/PA/DE

 

[BobBarker]

I would really like a tray of grocery store sushi. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Lol..yeah I’m sure I would offend many by calling it a gas station. I’ve been eating from there for years because it’s unavoidable unfortunately. I’m still a subway guy…

 

[drusso]

We celebrated at home.

 

[DOctorJay]

we got a nice email from our CEO and a link to obtain a free fleece jacket.

I probably eat at Wawa at once a week - the buffalo chicken wraps are pretty solid

 

[geauxg8rs]

Humana gave us a coupon book for a free peer to peer approval.

 

[callmeanesthesia]

Hospital near me has a digital Kudos board for patients and staff to post messages of appreciation.

 

[lobelsteve]

Nothing but Bundt cake. Really big red velvet one.

 

[buddababa]

Nothing but Bundt cake. Really big red velvet one.

my favorite kind

 

[BobBarker]

I like the taste of the little Bundt cakes better. I know that they should be the same but for some reason it has better pop.

 

[lobelsteve]

Not a fan of any of them. Carrot cake or key lime pie.
But the Mrs loves red velvet....

 

[Baron S]

Bought myself a new (old) watch

 

[hyperalgesia]

It's heartening to know that when all the c-suite execs got together at one of their meetings with their lattes, they decided to throw some scraps our way, before they moved on to their executive business /s

 

[clubdeac]

Coffee mug with hospital name and neck warmer... seriously

 

[callmeanesthesia]

Coffee mug with hospital name and neck warmer... seriously

Ah, a neck warmer. Perfect spring gift during record-setting warm temps. Nice coffee mug like a Yeti? Or just an actual novelty mug? If so probably comes direct from China with lead paint too…

 

[lobelsteve]

Love that band and dial colorway.
I am not into watches (Garmin Fenix 8)
Got my son started with a Tag F1 steel and blue.

Yeah cheap mug, I’ll look for the China logo. You’re probably right

Nice! Tags are great watches, I am sure he will love it.
