Things that I learn on TV that I didn't learn in medical school
Hospital shifts start at a decent morning hour - Surgery interns arrive after the sun rises
Asystole is a shockable rhythm
There's no ancillary staff at most hospitals
Doctors routinely perform their own radiological imaging
Despite working 80+ hours a week, residents still have time to look beautiful
Happy Hour is the worst time to be a patient since all the residents and attendings are at a bar drinking together
Attendings get to sleep with the "star intern"
Face masks are sterile and can be placed on after you wash, glove and gown
A surgical intern can diagnose congenital heart disease in the nursery better than a pediatrician
For new onset afib, the appropriate service to consult is CT Surgery
Doctors are not allowed to have any kind of relationship to anyone who is not a doctor
Interns are assigned to one patient per day.
Residents rarely do paperwork
