“How is it that everyone comes to work without pens? I should get you all fired.”

Nurse who forgot her pen at home.

Today I greeted an ER resident as if he was a Radiology staff (he is starting his mandatory radiology rotation).

Used the formal form of “you” and everything.

The worst part is that I have been in ER shifts with him.

Earth, swallow me whole.

“If you ever prescribe an aminoglycoside, and the patient doesn’t come back complaining because it fucked up their digestion, it’s because they didn’t take it.”

You know you are doing something well when the nurses at your unit greet you with a kiss on the cheek.

I fear have already reached my peak in my internship.

Doctor: What lab parameters would you ask for?

Intern 1: To the patient or to the pleural effusion?

Intern 2: The pleural effusion is part of the patient, you dumbass.

Intern 1: Anyone at [hospital] that has shampoo?

Intern 2: I thought you were a hippie.

Intern 1: I still need it every some days, you know.

Intern 3: I knew it! You are rancid.

I just found your blog and it is hilarious 😂

It reminded me of a quote I got from a nursing professor:

“If they’re hemorrhaging their pain will go away, but not in a way you want it to”

(The context is that we were just learning the order to perform interventions in. For example, dealing with hemorrhaging before pain lol)

Anyways, I wish you luck on your medical journey and look forward to seeing more funny and relatable posts!

That’s hilarious!! Thank you so much!

Intern: Are you okay?

Nurse: I haven’t had a second to rest all day with all of the new orders you guys have been giving me…

Intern: … you are not going to like what I have to say.

“I’ve gone up and down so many stairs during these weeks, I feel like my Achilles tendon is going to snap at any moment.”

Shoutout to that one hospital where my average flights of stairs climbed per day were 35, and they got to 60 when I had a 24hr shift.

Intern: Why do we request Chagas serology when we get a postive HIV?

Infectologist: Honestly, I don’t know.
