I was. And then I worked one yesterday. Picked it up to see how I liked them and definitely not.
In a station absolutely. SSM...they'd have to pay me a helluva lot more to do that regularly.

Have them institute a $20/hr bonus like Rocket occasionally gets. I know that concept interests me!
On another note, I saw my first case of Lisinopril induced angioedema last night. 74 YOF, had been taking Lisinopril for years without difficulty or any recent dosage change. She woke up at 0300 with dysphagia and a sensation of her throat closing up and itching. No airway involvement when I was with her, clear tracheal sounds, and the swelling was mostly localized to the tongue. No other oral intake, stings, urticaria, or history of anaphylaxis. She remained stable during transport with 50 mg of Benadryl. Thank god she was maintaining her own airway though, because she would have been an absolute bear to intubate. I don't know if our Combi-Tube would have fit either. We're trialing the King Vision, so that may have helped, but horrible visions of crics were dancing around in the back of my head...

Wow, the trolling in that one thread is nuts. I can't say I'm surprised though.

I'm pretty sure I'd get laughed out of a job if I brought that one up.

I want to learn Russia. I am surprised at how many patients we get who are Russian immigrants.

I every time I think I can't hate my school more, my school surprises me. It looks like I might not be going to Chicago after all for a rotation. Apparently a DO school can't get an affiliation agreement at a hospital with a DO residency. FML.
