Undercover malpractice attorney?

I can't imagine playing DS3 after a long shift. I get killed enough playing that game when I am well rested, fed, and haven't been dealing with humanities finest for 12 hours

Epic is far superior to any EHR i've ever used. Just learn to love it.

I don't sugar coat it. Never had a problem. People are usually happy that I have a diagnosis for their symptoms (as opposed to the "sorry, the 30th CT scan you've had in the last 2 years continues to provide no answer for your chronic pelvic pain")

I like a single large ice cube. I love scotch but have really gotten into bourbons and ryes over the last few years. Delicious

Elaborate? I have no intention of working picking up shifts for a takeover group like the one in OH. I would however, like to find a way of subsidizing the ****ty pay I make in NYC

I know Houston area, where else?

There is always time to eat. A dehydrated, hungry Doctor cannot provide optimal care. Don't martyr yourself. The patient's will just keep coming.

Moral of the story, if you blow STEP I more than once, the ERAS God turns you into a shed

What is the salary for an Attending who has been out for several years?

I personally wouldn't mind but overall is probably less than ideal and would avoid if at all possible.

Ever since this Pokemon Go thing came out, poor old Cerberus has had to keep a low profile. It's demeaning to have these millenial 20 somethings and children throwing "poke balls" at the THE one and only Three Headed Hellhound of Hades

As an Attending I prefer 12s because I work fewer days and it makes travelling much easier if I want a block of dates off. As a resident I would avoid a purely 12 hour program if all other things were equal. 12 hrs in the ED can be a real beating. If you are doing it 2-3 times a week it isn't...

A patient told me he was worried he had a stroke... he had 3/5 R sided weakness x 2 weeks... He had a stroke *facepalm*
