Insufferable but correct 😌 Views and opinions are my own and do not represent my institution. nothing I say is medical advice. she/her.

While I was getting tattooed over the weekend, there was a No Kings protest going by the shop and a Ukrainian artist just sighs and says, “your people need to learn about fire”

@glynnlc Truly, responsibilities and ignoring it have gotten me this far

I have a torn scapholunate ligament in my dominant hand and my surgeon was like, “…how are you doing literally anything with that shit”

[That GAY ER Doctor, MD @GAYERdoctor]

I asked my patient if he was feeling better after the medications he was given and his mother said to me, "well you're the doctor, you should know."

Having an MRI is similar to going through airport security because suddenly I’m irrationally worried I secretly have something I know I don’t, like a gun or a Prince Albert

@Characters050 This was an exchange between me, an intern, and my upper level resident

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

Me: do you want me to call cardiology
Upper level: no they don’t need to be involved

Three hours later
Upper level: you need to take initiative, you should have called cardiology

I do not understand what the fuck you want from me lmaoooo

I always forget that Noah Wyle is in Donnie Darko

@AiasTheAchaean @obxpilot23 My upper didn’t want a curbside, they wanted a formal consultation and they also fucking told me not to get cards involved so like… do you see the painfully obvious communication issue here or no

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

Okay so my Eko stethoscope attachment stopped charging and I filled out the little inquiry form on their site to see if they could help me troubleshoot… and they just sent me a brand new attachment, replacing it free of charge?!? Customer for life now omfg

A new research study was just published that showed that physicians swearing increased motivation, confidence, and adherence hahaha I love it. Personally, dropping the occasional swear works wonders for me with patient rapport

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

@DrChandanaReddy I have stuff move around my floor on its own pretty often lmao and stuff falls off tables occasionally. Not in a destructive way, I think it’s just letting me know it’s there hahaha

@SurgeryBro You’re for the streets 💀

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

@obxpilot23 I’m not at a point in my training where I have any business doing that

@DrDiGiorgio Tomato, tomato. Nonprofit hospitals’ profits do go somewhere… into executives’ pockets, marketing, and investment portfolios. And if you work for an HCA hospital, then yes, shareholders.

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

The ACGME wants to gut resident work hour restrictions and requirements for program directors for shareholder profit, not for patient safety or resident education. Don’t miss your chance to speak up about this absolute dumb fuckery they’re up to

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

@DrDiGiorgio And we KNOW this isn’t being done to benefit residents or patients

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

@DrDiGiorgio All the people and companies who make money off of our cheap, easily exploited labor. More resident hours and fewer attendings required = higher profits, simply put

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

@polyeaster They’re taking comments in the form of an absurdly long survey until October 22!

[Empress 🖤 @drrdemon]

Residency be like
