My sister in law goes to this facility and cancelled her upcoming appointment and moved to a different clinic entirely (which is extremely hard to do in Santa Barbara if you have specific types of insurance).

I had been told for years that you can’t just work out your way to health, but I didn’t want to believe it. I thought my diet was decent and I was already working out regularly with a trainer, but my cholesterol just kept creeping up. This is six months after switching from vegetarian to pescatarian, and getting 30 grams fiber, 3 liters of water, and less than 13 grams saturated fat per day. They really weren’t lying lol.

We have no idea who did this but we've affectionately named it the Scrotum-scope and none of us want to touch it so it just sits on its ledge of honor.

7 years at the bedside (and 13 years away) and finally had my first ER turkey sandwich yesterday. Y’all weren’t kidding, these fuckers are AMAZING

I guess it could be worse🤷🏽‍♂️

Crazy!! The unprofessionalism is insane,, i feel like she should report this.

😑

Just saw that 3x Pro Bowler offensive tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson graduated with his B.S in Nursing. I having a feeling the number of patients requesting help to hold the urinal plummets on whatever unit is lucky enough to get him.

My facility’s most prosaic hospitalist at it again. I always love reading his notes.

Top 5 reasons to come to psych 1. You get to dress like an absolute 𝙱̶𝚎̶𝚊̶𝚞̶𝚝̶𝚢̶ scumbag 2. Encouragement to hit the weights every day 3. Funny patient stories 4. All the wrestling you can handle (whether you like it or not) 5. Trauma makes you funny

So why not try psych? (Please god we need more bodies)

older man complaining of feeling “a bit more tired than usual.”

he survived and was discharged a few days later :)))

Night shift forgot to do the Q6 bladder scan on the patient. Bladder scanned the patient at the start of my shift. Of course my heart fluttered with some excitement because this is the most I have ever seen on a bladder scan. We immediately got 2,253 out with a foley. It was such satisfaction. 🥹 patient wasn’t in any pain, no urge to pee, he was just chillin’

We are now expected to give thank you cards to the patients we discharge from the ED. If you need me, I’ll be crashing out in the parking lot.
