B is for B-B-B-BLOCKED! I like my job etc etc but we’ve all been there, when all the services who SHOULD be taking a patient are punting them off until they finally make their way to General medicine. And then all those services who didn’t want to round on the patient consult themselves and get mad when you don’t follow their instructions to a ‘T.’ I’m talking “patient is here for revision of their surgical procedure but they have a UTI so we can’t take them” kinds of cases.
Different residents have different approaches to this-some are like Neo from the matrix, and others accept their fate. Don’t yet know who I’ll be, but I do know when my senior gets into it with a service and wins I’m always like 🎉🎊🎉 #hospital #patients #blocked #resident #intern #pgy1 #medicine #residencylife #inpatient #doctor #relatable #uchicago #pritzker #womeninmedicine #blackdoctors #graphicmedicine #premed #premedmotivation #im #residency #internyear #internalmedicine #medschool #medicine #medicalschool #medlife #md
