One-I find it hard not to get cynical at times in the ER when I come out of working on a critical care patient and then go to someone who is whining about a minor problem or people who abuse the system, etc. How do you keep a positive attitude in the ER? Especially when the culture isn't necessarily positive anyway.
Two-I am going to a Level lV ER to a Level II and I feel excited about the possability of having more exposure to higher acuity level of patients. I have been thinking that I probably won't be doing as much "clinic stuff" as much as I have been in this rural town. But am I deluding myself in my thinking? I know I will still do some, but not as much. Reality Check Please?
Try a literature search, I think I used keywords "emergency, overcrowding" and "perceptions".
The paper was several semesters ago, so my bibliography isn't easily available anymore. I think that particular article was in British Journal of Medicine (BMJ).
