Ahh, but the point is, I did not do especially good work, I did absolutely mediocre work, what I consider the bare minimum to justify calling myself a doctor.
Wrong!! You did what was necessary, in a timely fashion, and got him plugged in.
ER care is also getting scary, we have 2 basic models. One is to do every test imaginable, mostly unnecessary, the other is to do nothing and send them out.
Seems like the well people get the first option, and the sick get the second.
Example: Obese 40 YO woman presented to ER with multiple sx, including dyspnea. Sent home with Antivert. Drove 40 miles to another hospital, ER there dxed saddle pulmonary embolism.
Fortunately she did well.
