    Is negging our own specialty the best strategy?

    2013, EM was The Speciality at that time. Whoops.

    Anyone want to guess at the number of unfilled spots this year?

    Ya this was predictable. Programs still fill, quality of applicants goes down, next the pay will drop more. EM is in the ****ter, sorry dudes this sucks ass. For those in residency, consider your fellowship options, but be careful, critical care is next.

    Considering getting out of EM

    Physicians jobs are to be the pinnacle of their specific specialty, if all we gave a **** about was the 80% of nonsense in medicine, wed all be NPs. Ahh fuk it, im not engaging further, youll make a great admin someday and I dont mean that as a compliment.

    Considering getting out of EM

    Sorry dude the above was an ignorant statement. Im EM/IM/CC, have been out of the ED for a bit, and quite frankly going back and seeing an eye complaint requiring the slit lamp, ob/gyn patients, sick kids, managing the department, etc has me a tad worried. No I dont think an ICU doc can...

    I think a fitting name for him would be l’autruche. The ostrich.
