InFocus: How to be a Real Emergency Physician: An Open Letter to the Recently Graduated and the Seasoned Veteran
Emergency medicine news, v 35(1), pp 27-29
Jan 2013
Abstract
It's all in the presentation and attitude, says Dr. Jim Roberts, who identifies himself in this photograph as the old, yet seasoned, gray-haired emergency physician. Here he presents a patient with vague chest pain for admission to a skeptical internal medicine resident, Suneeta Sotti, MD, in the ED of Mercy Hospital of Philadelphia. Newly minted EM attending Artemis Khojasteh, MD, physician assistant student Laura Burger, and experienced emergency physician assistant Andrea Dabney look on. They pick up on the tone, mannerism, body language, interaction, and professionalism (or lack thereof), and subsequently incorporate these observations into their practices when involved in patient care. Although easier said than done, it's best to always, always, always be nice, and set a positive tone.
