Patient during a trauma alert: Where’s the doctor? Who’s the doctor? CRNA: You’re surrounded by them, there are literally more doctors in this room than anyone could ever need

My program reimburses for step3/level3 which means that I’m going to get a check for $900 for money I spent a year ago. What should I buy as a treat to celebrate? (The rest is going to my Roth)

Me: the patient could have McArdles disease! My attending: leave me alone until you can come up with a differential for rhabdo that doesn’t include a glycogen storage disorder. Me: okay, that’s fair 😶

Serious question: what’s the best advice you’ve been given in regards to leading rooms? How did you develop your leadership style? #MedTwitter

My cat got diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and my mom's response was, "Well, it does run in the family". So now she's on prozac and needs special food with extra turkey. RIP that PGY-2 pay increase.

*sung to the tune of “if you’re happy and you know it”* Stop shaming patients for going to the ED 👏👏 Stop shaming patients for going to the ED 👏👏 Lack of access is the problem, but not one for THEM to solve. Stop shaming patients for going to the ED 👏👏

To the internet people thinking they are now EM doctors because they watched the pit….yes, yes you are. Grab a Celsius, your shift starts in 10min and we don’t tolerate tardiness.

I guess what I’m saying is, you have a tumor with a relatable character arch. Please follow up with OB/GYN, and best not to Google

Me describing a teratoma to a patient: when your cells were at the start where they could be anything and different cell types were migrating every which way, these special cells were like “I have aspirations that we’ll be all kinds of things! But we’re good here, we don’t run”

Does anyone else ever reach a point in their shift where they are either the worst doctor to ever exist or they need a snack?
