[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to the ER during a thyroid storm last year. My husband worked in the ER decades ago.

I'm SO glad your days are filled with non-life-threatening issues.

What does this have to do with anything? You utilized an ER for an emergency condition. This post was not aimed at you. [/quote]

Do I really have to spell it out to you?

If an ER doc wishes for more emergencies, that means he or she wishes for more suffering people in mortal danger. Having been in that uncomfortable predicament, I don't wish that on anyone. My husband, having been on the medical side, has never once uttered such a wish as OP's. And he got all the druggies as well.

I was trying not to express how disgraceful it is for a doctor to say the ER is boring, but hey, you asked for it.[/quote]

Omg that must have taken some serious mental gymnastics to conclude that OP wishes for more suffering people in mortal danger.

That's not what she's saying at all.

There will ALWAYS be people suffering and in danger. Always. OP just prefers to help those people rather than the ER people that come in to have their athletes foot looked at (happened to me in the ER many moons ago when I was with ORAL SURGERY - I was like dude - not my department).

OP I totally get it. You want to see the big cases. That's probably why you chose emergency medicine. Can you move to an inner city hospital?  Something in Baltimore?  Probably more of what you're looking for there.

Don't listen to all these other people telling you to leave medicine. Please don't. It's probably just time for a change.
