When you realize the waiting room cleared itself just as Bowie starts on your playlist

@VPrasadMDMPH Tell me you're not a proceduralist by not telling me

The life you live off shift—
how you treat people when no one’s dying—
matters more than any golden hour.
If you wouldn’t want to live your life on repeat,
you’re overdue for an audit.

@stopvaccinating @irishrygirl Is Vit A standard treatment to attempt to prevent the blindness associated with measles and some other consequences? Yes. Does that mean the same thing as a cure? Absolutely not.

I once knew a woman who was meek, deadend job, unlucky in love. Then she adopted like ten cats after her boss pushed her out a window and it honestly solved all her problems. She even bagged the richest man in Gotham City. So I'm just saying it seems like MORE CATS is the move.

@MaddieMierMD If it makes you feel better, this was a thing I was planning on googling, as a fellow Old, but then I forgot to do it, due to my aging brain.

@jonfavs What was with the guy who kept harping on how Trump should have picked a hotter porn star?

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@alexjestrella Agree 💯 dumb ER brain logic: it's never the wrong choice, there just may be a more correct choice sometimes

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@acweyand Well, they don't have my favorite, and I can't go for that.

But in residency this was my favorite number to prank page my friends who were on long boring call

@Uro_Skeptic @ShawnIzadi @acgme @OHSUsurgery Not helpful in any way is a really bold statement. I don't agree with that sentiment, but at minimum that intern gets the pgy2-5 data in the morning before rounds, meaning they get to sleep in a bit, that's helpful

Also ignoring the suicide rate is outrageous and obtuse

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

Me: ok silly questions, where are we right now? What is this place?

Patient: Heaven? This is Heaven.

Me: *cackling* absolutely not sir, if anything it's the other one. Try again.

Patient: ok ok, the ER.

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@Dallas_Holladay Don't know if it's silly because it typically brings it into existence but mentioning regular pts names or sharing stories of bad pathology brings them/it in. I've been Beetlejuiced three times this past month alone.

We do not speak that way in my ED if I can help it

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@jtrebach That's ridiculous, it's not like you ordered their exact meal at dinner before they got a chance

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@RealMed3 @Financial_MD Pretty sure we only got a pin-on name tag. Definitely had to buy the doctor bag and stethoscope myself

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@Eugene_T_Erlikh @umanamd @MicieliA_MD Whatever man, keep being immature. I proved myself to the med school, residency, and board. I don't really care what you think especially if you have zero interest in a discussion of the facts at hand ✌️

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@MicieliA_MD @MikePallaci @umanamd Where they discuss actual studies. FOAMed isn't perfect, but it's also not bullshit. This attitude about it though...

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@shailinthomas Oh I just whisper dictated for all of intern year until my senior noticed and started calling me Delilah

[Magpie EM @MERallo]

@Dr_amoytheemd Having never had a job that paid much over minimum wage before med school I was very happy with my residency paychecks. And I'm not sure I go so far as to say weekends off are a human right. Things could definitely be better but I think this is a bit over the top characterization
