Since early 2020, the world has changed and evolved in so many aspects. It's often easy to get lost in the day to day scramble, especially in the busy hospital setting. Today, I took a drive to share some thoughts that have helped me evolve over the course of this p*****ic to become a better doctor, person, neighbor, fiancé, and friend. Annoyingly sentimental. You've been warned.

Dude. Your journey gave me perspective into the transition from resident to attending hospitalist. It helped me. You started as an attending as I was in my last year of family medicine residency. Thanks for being honest and transparent about the journey. Now Ive been a hospitalist in a rural hospital for the past two years. Yes it was trial by fire just like your journey. I’ve enjoyed following along. I agree, it’s the simple things in life that give us joy (genuine joy). You will always encounter entitled people. I don’t have time for them - they just suck energy out of you *energyvampires* . Tell them to take a hike. Just do you , keep helping patients, it’s an honour to be a doctor. Even kings and politicians can’t do what we do.

Well that's awesome to hear, thanks for the feedback. Being a rural hospitalist always sounded like fun - how's all that going for ya? Probably a lot different when the resources are a little scarce I'm assuming. I saw a couple rural positions out in Hawaii that peaked my interest, but having to be that alone gave me some hesitation.....

@@LifeBeyondMedicine I love it actually. Rural is where its at for me. Higher compensation, lower patient volume, closer relationships with staff and you are way more appreciated. Everyone supports one another, for the same reason you mentioned, fewer resources. It's just me and the ER doc 90% of the time so I'll run some cases by him/her if I need another perspective. Or, I'll call my colleague. There's just a handful of things I had to develop further to be comfortable as a rural hospitalist: 1. Intubation (I learned on the job, trial by fire because of COVID) The ER doc backed me up until I was comfortable. (I keep a glidescope for backup, even now). 2. Code blues/ RR 3. Better EKG skills 4. Cardioversion Everything beyond my scope, I transfer out to larger facilities. Overall, a much much better quality of life. I work for Team Health and I'm happy with them. They have the hospitalist contract for my facility. It can be tougher if the hospital itself employs you. These small places generally don't make you sign a non compete clause so as a family doc, you can also open your own practice locally as well. Hawaii huh? If I didn't have family, I would be doing locums there in a heartbeat!
