Abdominal Pain PSA
I've had a run of people admitted to the ICU after have 1-2 weeks of abdominal pain who were struggling to eat or drink that ended up having conditions leading to necrotic bowel. Dead bowel makes people incredibly sick. Like, death's door sick. Anecdotally, I'd say maybe 60% of our patients make it through such an ordeal. Every time I talk with their families, their loved ones say that they looked bad and they tried to get the patient to go get some help. Often, these people wait too long.
So.
PSA: if you're having abdominal pain and can't keep anything down for more than 48 hours (especially in the context of N/V WITHOUT bowel movements), you NEED to go to the ER. Not urgent care. Not your PCP. The ER. Please get checked out. Do not let things sit. If you have known GI disease like diverticulosis, a hernia, etc, even more of a reason to get checked out.

I have completely underestimated how hard it is to have compassion for people that are in fact rude, racist, misogynistic people. People assume that those who work in the medical field need to hold up this fortitude against verbal attacks and absolute disrespect for us as human beings by patients. Most of the time it is so much easier to become numb to it. But they deserve the best care possible, so becoming numb leads to poor patient care. So how can I keep doing this without completely burning out? I think its really fucked up to image health care providers should have to always rise above with no feelings hurt, because feelings and psyches and mental health get wrecked everyday. Can anymore give me guidance with compassion?

Provider talking to patient, who was just diagnosed with bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Patient: how dark do the sunglasses need to be?
Provider: for what?
Patient: so I don’t give this to anyone else
Provider: (deep breath). How do you think pink eye is spread?
Patient: well I got it by looking at a girl with pink eye.
Provider: (deeper breath). No.
(And went on to explain how it is really spread)

This is unrelated from my usual posts, but if anyone has questions about what it's like to be in a physician assistant master's program (application process, patient care hours, personal statement, my experience in the program, etc.), feel free to ask!. I'm in the first quarter of my first year, and I'm happy to share my experiences and resources that I've used thus far!

c. Board Certification: Once you complete a residency, you become eligible to take and pass the board certification exam for your speciality.
5. Licensure and Continuing Medical Education:
a. Medical License: Obtain a medical license from the state where you intend to practice.
b. Continuing Medical Education (CME): Commit to lifelong learning by completing CME courses to stay up-to-date with the latest medical advancements and maintain your license.

Five Years as a PA-C
Well, 5 years as a PA-C really snuck up on me. I was at work on Tuesday and while checking my email, my hospital send one of those "Congrats on 5 years! Pick a cool thing from this random website!" To be perfectly frank, I was a little dumb struck.
In many ways, it just doesn't seem like that much time has passed. I work in such a fast paced, stimulating environment, constantly learning new things, that I didn't really FEEL the time. Well, at least the last 3 years. The first 2 were long and arduous.
Looking through my archives, I faithfully did reflections after the first and second years. Somehow skipped the others. Never too late to get back in it.
Lessons Learned
There are people that work in healthcare for a pay check. Let your frustration with that slide away.
Some people are just assholes. Don't overthink that. Again, let that shit go.
Some parts of medical education/residency are completely ridiculous, unfair, and unsafe. Try to change what you can (especially the unsafe).
Stand up for your boundaries. I was offered a chance to "move up" into management. I declined because I knew I would hate my job if I took on admin. Don't apologize for setting this boundary.
Cultivate relationships with your coworkers and hang out with them outside of work. This is so important for our critical care team. I believe it enhances our ability to work well together.
Use your vacation time.
Some families or patients will suck you dry. Prepare yourself for those interactions and have a plan to decompress what you absorb.
Always be excited to learn. Medicine is changing every day. Learning is a foundation of the profession.
The best decision I made was changing specialties. The second best decision I made was to turn down a management opportunity. You can challenge yourself in ways that do not result in more pay, more responsibility, or more stress. I am wanting to get my chest tube placement verification done this year. Would love to add paras to that. I want to expand the teaching I have done with my PA school and possibly guest lecture on other topics. There are a lot of things that advance a career that aren't management. For me, that is desirable.
So what next? Well, some of you know that I have some intense outside of work things going on. For now, I am hanging out where I am. Probably will go to a conference this year. Probably will do more teaching. I'm ok with that. I love critical care and I have no plans to leave it any time soon.

Patient: I was told I would get a room upstairs! That was hours ago! What is taking so long?
Provider: ma’am, bed placement is working on your admission bed. It depends on how many beds are available in the hospital and whether we have enough staff to care for all the patients on that floor
Patient: so I should go up there and be a Karen to move things along?
Provider: ma’am no amount of being a Karen will make a bed available faster, I assure you
