Violations:
#1. Someone still trying to point the finger my way, I'm sure. "Blood loss would have been less extreme if anesthesia kept BP lower." I wish I was being facetious. A spine surgeon documented this and told something to that effect to the family after he put a screw through the common iliac and killed a patient.
#2. I've worked in healthcare for 15 years (CNA/tech partner/mental health tech) and MOST bodily fluids don't bother me, except for lung butter. Had a patient with a trach shoot lung butter on my forearm while coughing and I almost horfed right there. Mad props to folks that work in respiratory because I absolutely can not.
#3. I've worked in colorectal surgery for 10 years and have supported 5 surgeons to varying degrees over the years. 2 of them have been absolute delights and I could bet money on how they would manage their patients. 2 of them were a-holes, but again you'd be done with clinic by 3 pm and practiced reliably the same. 1 surgeon treated every patient uniquely, you could never anticipate what she would want, and she had a deep martyr complex. Depending on the other interactions she had that day, you may get cookies or you may get the silent treatment or maybe you get yelled at in front of a patient. I finally left the group for a non-surgical specialty and I have no clue what to expect bc my whole career I've been surrounded by surgeons.

Not Violations:
#1. This was my thought. It absolutely happens in rural medicine. I literally field these patients almost every day I work. Sometimes it's legit no one worked them up, sometimes the patients are legit dramatic and have their story wrong. Trying to decipher which is which can be, interesting at times. Not sure if city, metro area type docs are similar or not
#2. Plenty of NPs equally smart as MDs yep. I don't blame you for looking for work life balance as an NP and I'm not questioning that you're probably a good clinician. But in no way in hell should a NP be paid the same as a Physician.
#3. What're the medical tropes you see that make you laugh or just get your goat? I've been binge-watching "The Mentalist" -- in one episode, he knows someone's not a doctor because their handwriting is legible, and, in another, IDs a victim as a doc by their crappy handwriting. And i felt called out.
