TING, OR I SWEAR I AM TURNING THIS CAR AROUND.
(My husband jokes that 90% of the reason that he wanted to have kids is so that he could say this.).
But in all seriousness - can we stop lecturing the posters here on what they should, or should not, be doing in their professional lives? And can we stop making assumptions about the experience level of people posting here?
Agreed fully!
I routinely tell people that time during the pandemic was the peak joy of my career. Our reputation amongst lay people skyrocketed, the rest of the house of medicine actually respected us for once, the patient load was truly only emergencies, and being on shift was chill AF. No visitors made patient interactions very fruitful and meaningful. And they were ALWAYS appreciative.
I miss those days dearly (despite at the time also having that lingering thought that I might die from an unknown virus... which speaks volumes about how bad EM has gotten now that I desire to go back to the days when I potentially had a real increased chance of dying on shift)
