Hey....what's the definition of a dermatologic emergency?
A doctor's wife with a rash.
(hehe)
Just asking, nothing meant by it, but what does the dermatologist add that the internist, or the critical care intensivist, or nephrologist, or whomever else is being consulted doesn't? I've seen a couple of cases of this, but no one's ever called in a dermatologist. Is it that they help when the diagnosis is in question, or what? Just wonderin'...Originally posted by enceph
Seriously speaking however, there are a few, Steven Johnson syndrome being the most notable.

Infectious disease is a fellowship done after internal medicine residency, so we can't count that...
I don't know about radiology residents, but our radiology docs work their butts off on call - usually in the hospital the entire night long reading CTs and xrays on trauma and ED patients.
Family med has a lot of outpatient, so it's probably pretty cushy.
Emergency med has shift work, which is nice. They rotate a lot off service so have to take surgery and IM call some on their first couple years.

I've that the folks who do military residenceies have it really easy. What with it being more of a government job... lots of federal holidays which they actually take off, fewer work hours, possibility for essentially free air travel (you only pay the tax), and a lot of other perks like golfing 18 holes for 5 bucks (probably on one of the federal holidays)...

Are there residency programs in informatics? I thought informatics programs were offered as fellowships. What is the normal path in informatics?

PM&R! What call could possibly be easier? What the hell is a rehab emergency?

"Hello, doctor? We'd like a stat competency evaluation, please. Yes, I know it's 3 o:clock in the morning, but we'd like to get started as soon as possible. Could you come in right away?"
