Docs like the one who just blitzed in and out should NOT be the norm. Model the Doc YOU want to be.

How I enter room and model for my trainees :
First I KNOCK before entering. Then it is "Good morning, my name is Dr. L, I am part of xyz group, I am seeing you for ABC. With me to day are...(I introduce the team)."

Morning MedSky. How to NOT enter a room:
Am in hospital for a very happy reason (new baby). MD just barged right into room. No knock. No introduction as to who he is or why he is here. Just a brusque "are you xyz?" When he realized I was not he apologized and left. At least he closed the door.

Went to the WW1 museum in KC : def worth a visit. Like any surgeon fascinated with medical history I had to look at the field kits for the docs. Is it chilling or reassuring we still use a lot of the same equipment ?

Apologies I only saw this after we went today. But these are two of about 5 shelves.

A trauma pt cried out to me several times as I was asking them what hurt "I have my papers! Ask my fiancé!" I had to measure him I wanted him to be OK and had no interest in immigration.

This is a new one. I can't wait to get the "chat GPT told me it wasn't my appendix/GB/hernia." How do you spell "necrosis of the bowel"?

I was literally just talking about this last night. For those of us who are out in the community applying what the major med centers were doing #medtwitter was a great connection.

For me, I have built a solid foundation of #Med contacts on the site that shall not be named. I check it intermittently to see what the general public is viewing.
