God Complex and A**MS EM
The other day, a triage god (In bengali the name rhythms with baal, pun intended) asks is the patient known to you? Your relative? We can arrange a bed. If not, then we don’t have beds! We can’t take patients just because the condition is severe and patient has traveled from MP to Delhi & waiting outside EM roaming around campus for evaluation for 3days! Ultimately after literally fighting for the patient’s intake, the EM keeps for sometime and instead of evaluating further refers to other centres. Refer-ologists indeed!
The vicious cycle of the poor patient continues. Gods have decided your fate.
Residency teaches you a lot! You see the poor suffering, and you also see why because of some shit-grade adrenaline junkie with head up his ass, you fail to reach out to them.
Am I the only one to experience this in residency?
