I love that the patient who posted has so little understanding of the medical system and how it works that she thinks a bunch of medical students are posting here, due to the name of the website. As if medical students would have enough experience to weigh in on the many many lacs they have done, with different methods, and the drugs used (including narcotics, which would be hard for students to actually prescribe.) I love when people come on here just to bitch about a bad experience they had with the healthcare system. You know they were googling their issue, and came across the forums. I wonder if the EM forum gets this more because of the nature of solitary ED visits not being "up to par" for a patient, or if the GI forum gets people bitching about how their colonoscopy went. +1 for Rusted Fox on insomnia- if half the insomniacs worked as hard as a resident, they'd never have probs sleeping. I'm lucky to stay awake long enough to get home after a night shift. And the last vacation I had, I worked 7 straight shifts prior to leaving, and literally slept through the whole 9 hour flight, from take off until the bump signifying landing.
