IIRC The scheduling around residencies was set up by a doctor who was, no joke, working on the assumption that residents would be prescribing themselves cocaine.

Also if you think lots of doctors smoke, you should see nurses.

Also, the reason he was addicted in the first place is that he was self-perscribing, which is extremely not allowed... and his specialty is, supposedly, addiction. It's like an oncologist who specializes in lung cancer going, "Welp, I'm off the clock, time to chain smoke four packs and then breathe in a bunch of asbestos."

I bet residency makes a lot of new coke addicts. Personally though, I'd rather my surgeon take a couple nips from a flask of whiskey before working on me. Keep those hands nice and steady.

I'd love to say this isn't true because my wife is a doctor and she's a nice person, but she literally yelled "gently caress you Dr. (her boss)" so loudly in the staff room the other day I'm sure the entire hospital heard :v:

there’s nothing more to it really, just an outburst about an overbearing superior

senior doctors seem to all have it in their heads that because they were treated poorly when they were more junior, that means they have to continue the tradition and treat their juniors like garbage

I don't know what you're talking about but I work around doctors and they have a fake persona they put on when with patients and then talk poo poo behind your back. I thought this was common knowledge but I guess not.

they absolutely do lol

not a medical professional but I have worked with them for years and it's always a trip seeing their notes to the patient like "so sorry this happened to you, mr smith. I'm calling you in a prescription for the pain" then they turn to you and go "this mf got shot in the rear end"
