Have you heard that he wants everyone to stop calling him TACO & call him daddy?
It’s funny the other word that I wanna call him starts with a D also ! Is it dick? Is it dumbass? Is it delusional? Is it dictator? It’s none of these it’s way better. Short 4 non-living !
The dreaded July 1st invasion of interns!!! Out of fairness tho, a few will actually ask for and appreciate help from nurses. Their egos haven’t kicked in yet!!! 🤣
They have to learn who the great nurses are (there are also new nurses on the wards). I worked with a great charge nurse in cards fellowship. She had great intuition about patients.
Today is the 22nd anniversary of my first overnight intern call in the Bone Marrow Transplant unit/heme-onc wing of my hospital. My first attending was my program director. I was so useless, basically a rubber stamp for whatever the nurses suggested. Took about a month to get my legs under me
I stay away from medical shows too because all television is doctors, cops, or lawyers and I’m sick of it but we did finally watch The Pitt after seeing so many people talk about it and it’s GREAT.
I once had an intern sit down next to me with his cheat cards. He asked, "Will the patient need this?" "Yes." "And this?" "Yes." "How about this?" I grabbed the card out of his hands and told him what they would need. "You owe me $500 for that service," I said. He never asked me again. 1/2
This may sound cruel, but I was working on a busy respiratory floor with four trach patients, down one nurse & one aid that day. Nurses do know a lot, sometimes as much as doctors, but we don't have time for that kind of shit. Show respect by asking the nurse if she has time to help you first. 2/2
My oldest sister was a nurse (relax, she's still with us, just retired 🙂), and I always trust her medical advice, especially when she flat out tells me to go see my doctor!
