Hello all.
As we are slowly wrapping up our second year and about to go headlong into third year, I thought I would ask a few of you masters out there: how should we prepare for pimping in the ED?
I already bought the Hamiliton and Madahaven texts and was hoping to read some chapters before or during my ED rotation and planned to cover some of the broader categories like abdominal pain, headache, shortness of breath. The ED does not seem to lend itself to the same manner of preparation as some of the other services (i.e., review the charts of current patients in anticipation of questions relating to their conditions). As patients are not usually warehoused in the ED and there are new patients on every shift and you can't anticipate what will walk through the door, how did you prepare?
Oh and Quinn, I pre-ordered your book but they keep pushing back the release date.
Thanks everyone. I just really want to shine. I love EM and can't imagine going into another specialty.
