greenmood Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 We got donuts and lunch today. Hug a hospitalist today. But only if they look like they want one. Make some eye contact first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiovolffemtp Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Hospitalist - oh, that's the in-patient docs I consult when I'm transferring a patient. It's a subspecies that only is found in urban areas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a subspecies that only is found in urban areas. They attract their mate through whitely colored coats and 3 hour long talks about the sodium level of their nearby humanoid cousin, the patient. They are an opportunistic eater, feasting on whatever they can find. Let us watch now as they scavenge food from the left over nurse appreciation luncheon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Alright alright alright, you three put your ultrasound probes back in your cargo pockets and get back to 7th level of hell that is an ED on a Friday night to sign your energy drink sponsorship paperwork. After all, I'm sure there are metrics to meet and meat to be moved! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiovolffemtp Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 REAL ED PA's know that Sunday-Tuesday are the bad nights. So many illnesses get worse when exacerbated by the thought of having to go back to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Better get outta here before @greenmood and I start discussing the difference between osmolarity and osmolality and the work up for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmood Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 They'll be the children in the background making gagging noises and rolling their eyes while giving that hyponatremic patient with elephant legs normal saline boluses for "hypotension" in the ED. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiovolffemtp Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Nope, I've been the child saying "Oh ..." after getting called for a rapid on an elderly man post turp having chest pain and hypotension with a Na+ of 113 despite the urologist having given 500 cc's of hypertonic 3% (and then heading for home).

IM speak: it would not be unreasonable to consider your not insignificant reference to cotton pocketed reduced length pants as a recognizable attribute of certain types of professionals working within the acute hospital setting, though further consultation is required to authenticate the veracity that there is no delta amongst the population. I’ll let you get back to your 6th hour of rounding and your argument with the general internist and the ED how the patient doesn’t meet ICU criteria. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
