So...I saw some other thread about how to do well as a medstudent in their EM rotation. I saw how in one of the posts - I think it was from AmoryBlaine - about a medstudent going into Urology kept telling the resident and attending that a consult was unnecessary and inappropriate. So I figured I'd start a new thread for entertainment...
What's the worst thing you've seen a medstudent do in the ED?
I guess I'll start. We had this one really socially awkward medstudent (was a senior to me at the time) go into one of the rooms where an underaged girl had belly pain. People in the ED didnt realize he was that way until this happened. He goes in, does a quick history, and says "Drop 'em, I've gotta check out your vag." Did I mention that her dad was in the room? Yeah so the Dad went ape**** and the Dean of our medschool has to personally apologize to the family. It was a pretty big deal when it happened. Anyways, the guy is now in Medicine.
