Honest question:
What part of medical school teaches doctors to fight against doing full bloodwork panels?
I got a full work up. Hormones, cancer markers, etc.
5+ of my friends went and asked PCPs for it.
ALL of them fought back. You don’t need it. Unnecessary stress.
Why the hell is this a thing?
Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy. I was (and am) blown away by how my words reverberated around the world; if anything, it proved to me that we honor King’s dream, by daring to dream big, and by, most importantly, daring to dream together. Only then will the loving fantasies of our better nature transform into reality. The work and fight for the dream persists, and what’s more, it is not just a fight, but fate—that perhaps we are as destined for this time as it is destined for us. What a worthwhile, powerful calling only we can answer. Here with you in the hill and the climb, and whatever light lies beyond, whatever light lies within.

If you think physicians are overpaid, maybe you should take the necessary course work in undergrad, take and pass the MCAT, apply for med schools, pay hundreds of thousands for tuition, learn for 4 years in a very high pressure learning environment, then pay thousands more to apply for a training job that you may or may not get, then if you do get it, you get to work 80 hours a week making $15/hour for 3 - 9 years wherein more than one day off in a row is a rarity, all the while many normal life events and processes get pushed to the side, then you FINALLY get a “real” job that’ll pay very well but you’ll realize your patients are not your customers (the insurance companies are), they are the product, and you’ll realize you have a lot to learn about the business of medicine in order to advocate for your patients and for yourself in order to be okay.
Then YOU can say “no thanks I don’t deserve to make that much.”
Or you can just skip all of that, realize now that the insurance and hospital system complexes are trying to hoodwink you, and appreciate the life work and care physicians commit to all of us, recognizing that while all things in medicine play a role in what we see today, physicians themselves are not the villain.
They are on our side.

@ElliotServaisMD Best advice I got intern year was to never sit by the computer worrying about a patient by yourself. Just always tell someone else.
They will either:
1. Tell you it’s not a big deal.
2. Help you figure out what to do next.
Best litmus test of the past year.
We got our elective options for intern year last week….
Everyone pray to the scheduling gods that I don’t get nephrology. I may actually cry, I know practically nothing about the kidneys 😭🥹😭
Lmao. Not me a Biochem major and now a resident, and I STILL don’t know the Kreb cycle.
First month of M1 is by far the most traumatic. Didn’t help that I was alone in the Midwest lolol
Cannot agree with this more.
#TBT to that one time all my seniors were at a code, I was left in the MICU, and I got a call for another pt’s K of 9.8!!!
