New horror stories from the medical world

Went back to work as a fourth-year family medicine resident today after flying back from holiday 48 hours ago

Still horrendous jetlag last night didn't sleep a wink

Saw 32 patients in a 3 hours and 45 minutes AM session (think that over in minutes per patient)

Mentioned to my associate consultant at lunch hour seminar (that I had to stay awake for) that I hadn't slept at all last night and her reply was "Well you woke up properly when you saw patients didn't you? Here I want you to edit this powerpoint tonight for an hour-long presentation tomorrow."

Saw another 24 patients in 2 and a half hours in PM session. Came home. Finished editing the powerpoint at 9 PM.

Sometimes when your doctor looks like she's more tired than you are it's because she is.
