[quote=Anonymous]ER provider here. I am very compassionate and loving, however I am so tired of working the ER. It's just nonstop BS coming in day in and day out. Complaints of things like sniffles/body aches, intoxication and general medical exams are basically what I do all day. No one is appreciative at all and the ER is constantly busy because it's pretty much operating as a primary care facility. I completely understand that some people come to the ER as a result of not having insurance, but a lot of people seem to come just for the hell of it. I see a true emergency (appendicitis, OD, heart attack, stroke, severe burn or broken bone etc) about once every 3 shifts. Would I be happier working in ICU or maybe just as a primary doctor so at least I would work on a normal 9-5 schedule and not have to deal with the 5th case of sniffles at 4 am.

Vent over. This is all stuff I can't say in real life because I would sound inconsiderate but my job is seriously dragging me down most days. [/quote]
