[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which kind of medicine do you like to do, OP? If you know you're going to be mostly dealing with non-emergency situations, maybe you should go for a non-24/7 urgent care, or primary practice. If you like it busy, maybe you need to go to a different ER. [/quote]

Its not that I want it to be busy. I wouldn't wish harm or bad health onto anyone! If we can go a whole shift without any serious injuries, that's great. However, it's when people come in with bullshit that is really annoying. I feel like I'm working crazy hours and just seeing nonsense patients all the time. If I wanted to do GP cases (vaccines, abdominal pain, chronic pains, management of conditions) then I would work in a GP facility and be home at 10 pm relaxing, not writing the chart of Dave the drunk who comes in every night after drinking 2 6 packs.

You sound miserable. You should find a different practice area. [/quote]

Or maybe leave medicine all together. Patients aren't there to entertain you.  Your expectations are off if you are looking to be appreciated.  I'm surprised you didn't catch on in school or residency that medicine isn't an episode of ER.[/quote]

It doesn't have to an exciting fast paced tv medical drama. However, seeing chronic indigestion at 2 am is not an emergency. [/quote]
