Pet peeve #678:

Any health care worker that makes a point of wearing their name badge when they bring a friend or relative assuming we will treat them "special" because of it.  Especially arrogant doctors. Ah....no you are going out to the lobby just like any other person.

Doctors who call in to say a friend of theirs is coming in....ah...so what...

thanksgiving....happy....all that

an ER doc goes to work

From humans of new york

"I’m about to go to work. I’m an emergency room doctor and I work the 10 PM to 8 AM shift."
"What’s been your proudest moment as a doctor?"
"Probably just the moment when I finally felt comfortable— it took about three years, and one day it just kinda clicked. Starting a shift in the emergency room is like the feeling before a giant battle in a movie like Braveheart or Lord of the Rings. You just have no idea what’s going to come through the door. Sometimes five serious cases can come in at the exact same time, and you have a lot of decisions to make, and you have to know exactly how long each procedure takes, and what can wait, and what can’t. I think my proudest moment was when I finally stopped feeling nervous, because I’d reached a level of experience where I could make the correct decisions without thinking about them.”
