re: Biggest butt chewing you ever took?

A few. But this one sticks with me the most.
First day of being an intern and I am in the ICU. I have been a doctor for just a few hours. When my senior resident passes out on the toilet in the resident lounge in the ICU. The other female resident walks in and sees her on the ground. She then calls a code blue. This is announced over head as: “code blue ICU resident room.” This happens in a large teaching hospital.

Needless to say everyone comes to this code. I mean everyone. My senior, who had passed out, was mortified and then brought to the ED (just fine).

Well she replaced by the most hateful german (literally from
Germany) senior who spends the rest of the day just bitching at me and the other interns. Well at the end of the day our attending just lit into our team for shite care we had done. Keep in mind the senior is filling in rather than on elective and we are as fresh as we could be to all this. My attending Then points at my replacement senior and tells him that me an the other interns are the worst doctors ever and probably wont be in medicine come Christmas.


I will tell ya what though we tripled our work and had a great month by the end. But yeah. I will never forget that arse chewing.
