How do you like working in the ER?

Specializes in Emergency.
There are those who abuse the system, calling EMS for a hang nail, sore throat, or med refill, are allergic to everything but Dilaudid, etc.

I love these pts. I think my favorites are the ones who call EMS for Nausea and vomiting for 2 hours and then have their wife/husband/sibling, etc. follow the ambulance. Really? That just makes me crazy!!!

But I love the ER and can't imagine doing anything else. And let's be honest, as rewarding as saving the truly emergent, truly critical pt is for all of us ER adrenaline junkies, stupidity is our job security.
