my 2 cents about ER

after completing my ER month i can see how you could want to do emergency medicine ken. so far it was the best month of my intern year. i worked 18 12-hour shifts and was actually home enough for maggie to get sick of me. once i had three days off then worked two night shifts but it was really slow and got sent home before 02:00 both nights and then had 3 more days off, so i actually had 8 days off in a row. now i know how you feel every week andersen. it wasn't nearly as great as anesthesia will be, but i have to say you picked a pretty good specialty ken. this was much better than my month at maricopa. what probably made it so great was nobody really cared how hard i worked so i would carry about 1-3 patients at a time and would go the whole 12 hour shift only seeing about 6 patients total and tried to avoid as much as possible the rectal bleeding or a woman with abdominal pain. off the topic, but have any of you surgery guys realized yet that surgery is not a lifestyle specialty and decided to switch to anesthesia.
