I don't mind the concept of Social media. Twitter as a place to get information (subscribe to people who put out news, not to interact with them). 

But my big problem with social media is the interaction.  It wouldn't be so bad if it was a place to share ideas. But alas,  instead its a megaphone for people to blast their opinion and shout down anyone who doesn't agree with them....with a side of them making not-so-funny jokes as a way to make themselves look clever.

Then again, this very message forum is kinda of a cousin to social media (or maybe a precursor.)

Most things have a good concept but then are quickly ruined by humanity.

Healthcare specialists throwing other specialists/generalists under the bus because everyone is afraid of a F*cking lawsuit. Working as a team is a lost art 

I thought it was just my take as a grumpy old man but individual success has become the most important thing in people’s lives.

In simple things like cutting in line or aggressive driving people give off the impression that they are more important than me as a reason for their behaviour.

Patience seems like a lost virtue.

I spent nearly 40 years honing my skills and rising up the ranks. Before I retired I had apprentices thinking they were management material and new employees wondering why they weren’t paid journeyman wage (4 years of experience + competency testing) earlier.

I had a case the other evening that was quite involved, icu care, etc etc... During that process I had to cardiovert (shock) a few times. 

Fast forward to 2 days later, patient was transferred to a tertiary care center and overall doing as well as expected based on the critical nature of the case. 

Because the ER was busy, the nurses never got around to scanning in the printouts from the code... So cardiology and Crit care were throwing my (and my teams care) under the bus. Using words such as mismanaged and clearly protecting themselves in case the outcome is bad. They only looked at earlier rhythm strips and never even called or sent a message to ask about the case.... I spent the last 2 days gathering all of the data needed to assure these asshats that I do in fact know what I'm doing. 

Scanned them into the patient chart and send a nice passive aggressive email that I have 20 years experience and maybe they should think before they speak in such a way. Cc'd Admin on it as well. Turns out it was a resident that was causing a stink so I made sure to reach out to the attending this week and have a nice chat about mutual respect. 

Idk, the Monday morning QB society we have now chaps my @ss
