The ER is the one place you can give someone good news and they get angry at you. Congratulations you aren’t dying…. “You did nothing for me”

I’m another ED doc. The problem is their eyes will glaze over and I will lose them teaching them medical school critical thinking. They only want to hear that I found something. Which is really the last thing they should want to hear.

As another practicing Emergency Physician, you’re missing one thing. Spend two minutes explaining that to the patient and make sure you’re discharge instructions Also share what was going through your brain.

Yes! You are paying for our experience. We do it fast because we literally do this all day. I love it when people say “they did nothing for me” and I ask “uh what about the leg, lab work and CT?” Well they didn’t find out the answer. The answer is you’re not dying

Lisa, RN and all that jazz :
The thing they don’t get is that the ER only diagnoses EMERGENCIES. We will rule our emergencies. That’s ir. If it’s not an emergency, then you need a different doctor to help you. Unfortunately in the U.S., the ER is the only way many people can access healthcare at all because we’re required to treat people. But we’re actually only REQUIRED to rule out and treat emergencies.
