What made you say "fuck, I'm old" today?

[NeonSubtlety]

I supervised an intern today who was born on the 2000’s.

No clue who no doubt was.

I'm glad I don't have to maintain ACLS. BLS only for me. I used to need ACLS, PALS, ALSO, and NRP.

It's so much easier now than in the old days... except now my body is old and worn out!

I enjoy being a father figure at work...and I am happier when I remember that I was young and dumb once, too!

I won't be for too much longer. I will really miss a lot of it...decades of saving lives. Haven't really figured out how I will feel about stepping away from the bedside.

If you're ER you'll probably feel a hell of a lot better about not having to deal with admin or private equity anymore

Yeah, ED, ICU, STAT team...I love my colleagues, I love the job, I even love most of my patients...but the corporation is fucking evil. It's bad enough anywhere in US healthcare, but this outfit is beyond the pale.

There's a reason I'm on job #3 in 11 years. This system seems to actually give a crap about us and keeps trying to find ways to decrease our inbox burden, non-patient-facing work, etc. It's rather nice

See, I have come to embrace being an older guy, and I wouldn't trade my mature brain for anything. But now and then we have to remind the whipper-snappers of their place in the hierarchy.

What comes to mind as a suggested reply to this kind of insolence might be something like, "Grandma?!? Kid, I could snap your dick right off!"

My mum looking at family photos on her iPad & unknowingly posting several of them on social media, which I thankfully spotted & was able to delete. It’s a sign we are both much older than previous Christmas Eves, in many ways
