Internal medicine versus the ER
ER docs sometimes lament hospitalists asking for a complete workup. Well, The Angry Doctor fires back:So it's just as easy for me to make disparaging remarks about the ER's complete lack of motivation to diagnose (DISPO DISPO DISPO... the mantra goes, right?) as it is for these ER heads to lament how lazy primary care docs have become. Why all the intellectual; dishonesty? We all know the truth: the REAL reason ER docs didn't do primary care is because they don't want to deal with chronically ill patients and their paperwork!

ER docs don't want to do primary care because they are ER docs, they are there for EMERGENCY!!! The ER is overused and misused as a clinic, because that is the only place people who don't have health insurance won't be refused healthcare. I know i've seen it. I worked in it.
