    Having worked in healthcare my entire adult life, I can safely say that nearly every MD/DO thinks they’re a super being, better than anyone they perceive beneath them. It’s a huge fucking problem. They do not think other people’s time is more important than theirs.

      I’ve literally watched an MD grab a chart, read it and then go get a coffee cause the pt can wait (JUST a leg infection spreading). No one is more important than Dr Me

        Sometimes when you’re on hour 12 of your shift working 6-7 shifts/week, after having dealt with 20 similar patients that day, you need a coffee before being able to properly evaluate the next potentially lethal leg infection.
