Walking out of my last day on medicine wards. Possibly the most soul sucking, joyless experience I've had to endure in medicine. No more calls at 3 in the morning for diet orders, no more rounding on 10 patients for 5 hours, no more dealing with STAT lab orders taking 3 hours to be drawn, no more waiting weeks for patients that no longer need inpatient care to be placed, no more ordering esoteric labs no one knows how to interpret due to an attending having an academic curiosity. I refuse to believe anyone enjoys inpatient internal medicine, it's like the cubicle work of the medicine world.
