I once lost a psych pstient in ED. She was an inpatient at the acute unit down the road and attended ED minors with a trivial laceration to her wrist. Unfortunately the psych nurse accompanying fainted when she saw blood (hence her career choice), face planted the wall and laid unconcious on the floor. In the chaos the psych patient escaped and ran back to the psych unit 200m down the road. Because being in an acute psychiatric unit was less traumatic than being in ED!

How I handle going to the ER as a Pharmacy Tech. Go equipped with candy. You can always distract them with candy. Outside the door take a deep breath and assess posture; chin up, shoulders down and back. Show no weakness.Enter and head straight for the trackboard to discover the identity of the RN looking after the patient whose medicines I carry. I then locate the nurse and confirm that they are indeed who I seek. If they look hungry, distract with a single wrapped candy and light humour. When thus appeased, it is safe to physically and verbally pass on custody of the medication to the ER RN. Leave as fast as you can manage without looking like prey or an escaping patient.

The ED docs in our hospital are famous for waiting until the end of their shift to call you with bullshit consults. So by the time you get there and evaluate the patient, they've gone home. When you go and try to find the original doc who called you to explain the dozen reasons why they should have never called you in the first place, they're nowhere to be found. And when you search for the ER doc they signed the patient out to, they say "Oh, I don't really know anything about the patient; Dr. X just told me you were coming in to admit the patient."

[@stevenross6810]

And the admitting docs at our hospital when called for an admission are famous for demanding some spurious additional test to be added before they will consult. So, near the end of your shift, you end up signing out what should have been a completed admission an hour ago to the next ER doctor who is completely disinterested in this being that they just showed up and are being bombarded with new patients. Therefore, they are not too knowledgable about it when the admitting doctor eventually rolls around and wants to discuss it. Finally, if it is a "bullshit" consult the simple and obvious thing to do is just discharge the patient instead of searching out someone else to talk to about the bullshit. Funny, despite all the complaints, that NEVER happens.

[@fil4648]

The ICU gets dumped on a lot with many patients that could be possibly managed on the floor or at least stabilised. I've seen that from both perspectives and I guess surgeons tend to do it a bit more, because most patients that go from the floor to the icu have medical rather than surgical indications, and the surgeons will use that or will truly not be comfortable dealing with them. That being said, I don't know how medicine is practiced in your country, but in Germany you wouldn't see a patient that needs to be intubated or needs vasopressors outside the ICU. In my homeland Greece you see them everyday though, mixed with stable patients in the same room, mixed with MRSA positive patients and the intern is taking care of them along with thirty other patients. I find that suboptimal for patient care though.

[@doggietreats67]

YOu are mistaken and have been given a distorted view of reality. General surgeons spend a lot their training managing intuabted/ sick patients without help from other services. Plus, if the airway issue is so bad that anesthesia is unable to intubate, they call in the surgeon for a surgical airway, ENT or gen surg.

At my hospital, I’ve never once seen the face of an anesthesiologist.. they will never come to the ER to help out. I was desperately calling one to come in to do a nasopharyngeal intubation because this girl had so much tongue swelling you could not intubate her regularly.. they said well i don’t think I’ll be able to help.. ent also refused to come in. Basically all was left was me doing a cric on this girl. There I was left out to dry by everyone in the middle of the night doing my first cric on a real patient. Went pretty I must say

Having been a patient in the ER myself in that last 6 months… I feel this skit from an entirely different perspective

[@MrEgofreak]

The beginning of the video is gold! By saying "You owe me an extra break," Anesthesia is cleverly accruing enough for a whole day off! I'm guessing the ER is karmic retribution then. AHAHAHA!

[@alliseuss1555]

Between the wellness videos, Jonathan, etc., eventually he'll have enough of these for a feature length psychological thriller.

[@shgstewart4674]

So if anesthesiologists metamorphose into emergency medicine doctors under the right environmental conditions, is that the terminal stage of the life cycle, or, if placed in the correct environmental conditions, do EM doctors metamorphose as well? And if so, what are the conditions, and what do they become? And are anesthesiologists the initial stage, or an intermediate stage? If intermediate, what is/are the initial stage (s), and under what conditions does metamorphosis occur? So many questions. Can someone please do a study?

Hello, fellow biologist.

Okay yeah the ending fucked me up good. Man this is some supremely effective horror.

I've worked in the public school system and what helps is not making eye contact and walking briskly with purpose toward the parking lot door at the bell. Keep your head down, anesthesiology.

Carrying a clipboard that you glance at with concern also helps!

Love the suspense 🤣, looking forward to the first movie

[@leilanepassoni7613]

They do that with everybody. I am an ortho bro and lost count of how many times I was left with a patient that had nothing to do with me.

[@frankG335]

That's not even good medicine. Patients shouldn't be pawned off like old toys. They should have the right to be with the specialty appropriate to their problem. I wonder how many patient deaths are due to the fact that they had the wrong specialty running their case. Are you saying you were in charge of, say, gastroenterology or cancer cases? As their main doc? Shouldn't that be illegal?

[@samanthajo1987]

😂 I work in the ED- I would love to see more videos about it!!!! 👍

[@jeffjames4064]

It's not just me? After years in ER I witnessed the same phenomenon. Come to think of it, as a patient I saw staff magically appear and disappear.

[@nater88dawg]

"Can you do sedation for closed reduction of a fracture since our staff's credentials expired?"

[@donnaboden4762]

Looks like Dr. G. Actually filmed this one in a clinic rather than his home. Very spooky late night hospital atmosphere.

"It's a trap!" - My favorite line

[@thepodium6930]

Oh my god, this happened to us two weeks ago. We went to attend a cardiac arrest call in resus and after the paramedics left they said they'd do a full a to e and then everyone just disappeared. We had to do bloods, lines, take the patient for a scan and then to icu all by ourselves. Just me (ODP), the a&e nurse and the anesthetist
