Is ER residency much worse than ER attending life? because, as a student rotating in it with residents, who often stay from 7 am to 7 pm, have to work a revolving door of day shifts/ shifts from like 3 pm - 2 am, then 9 pm - 7 am, it feels awful. Then you add that you get talked down upon from some attendings, hell even some patients don't respect you and "want the ortho guy". Even some of the attendings were feeling bad for the residents talking about how the job market isn't what it used to be lmao. I don't see many redeeming qualities about EM tbh. Don't get me wrong, I do think ER attendings are awesome. When shifts get busy they have to manage and deal with a lot.
Is there anything I can't see on the surface that I'm missing?
Even hospitalist medicine is much better than this. can round very quickly, stay for admissions or leave if you don't think you're getting one in like 30 min - 1 hour because they go down the list for admissions throughout the day, and the pay is similar... albeit a little less.
