I transferred to GI because the hours are compatible with family life. It's actually very gratifying to be saving patients if they are diagnosed early and they become flequent flyers. You really build a relationship with you patients.It's a M-F 7-3:30. We do have calls for emergencies. The staff rotates to cover 24/7 call schedule. We have a great relationship with our physicians and they make sure that it is truly an emergency. I've done trauma/head injury, CCU stepdown, pediatrics, telemetry CCU/ICU. Although I miss working ICU/CCU, I find that when you have patients who are bleeding that some leftover skills from previous gigs always come in handy.

We should have Universal Healthcare now, with the amount of taxes we are paying. In England the tax rate is 20% on income below 34,800 and 40% if over. In this country combined taxes (federal, state, municipal, etc.) is about 40%, yet we don't have universal healthcare. I wonder how much of our taxes are getting wasted on politicians pet projects?

The bleeding could have been caused by scope trauma as they tried to go around your left side(sigmoid).
