I'm on call in the CCU tomorrow from 7am (Friday) until 7am (Saturday), and I most likely won't be able to leave the hospital before a good 30hours of work.
So? How is this call different from all other CCU calls?
Because it will be the day after Thanksgiving. Tons of people will be having CHF exacerbations and heart attacks because they ate too much food/drink at Thanksgiving or overdid it playing football in the yard or whatever else they did today that they knew they shouldn't have but went ahead and did it anyway. So this is my plea-
please, please, please, people with CHF/people who are on the verge of a heart attack- could you PLEASE just eat a reasonable amount, adhere to your low-salt diet, not tackle your friends and family members while playing football like you're a teenager, and otherwise act in a sensible manner so that we don't meet each other tomorrow when I'm on call?
In advance, I'd just like to say DAMMIT, and I TOLD YOU SO to everyone who falls into the above category.
Join me as together we experience the roller coaster ride of internal medicine residency! After four years in the Failure Factory (affectionate term for my medical school), I'm ready to move forward on the conveyor belt of doom into residency. Sure I hated med school, but residency promises all the allures of 'Scrubs' (minus the glamorous actors, enjoyable dialogue, theme music, time for personal hygiene, etc). Watch out internal medicine, your ranks are about to get polluted!
