I didn't leave the hospital today until almost three o'clock, trying to figure everybody out and make sure that everything was ordered, discharging patients (inherited 18 patients today, discharged 8. Not too bad!). I then slept and slept and slept and if my stomach hadn't awoken me unhappy about its prolonged fast, I might have slept until morning.
I have realized, again, how much I truly despise the attending on the team. I haven't worked with him since I was a junior resident, but at that time, he told me (in front of a patient and his family) that I was an incompetent, lazy physician, who didn't know how to take a history and couldn't do a physical exam. Haven't felt the love since then. He hasn't changed. He chewed my interns and I out for admitting 2 patients, for not getting all of the details of the history on another (even after reviewing the chart 5 times, I still don't know why such-and-such was done, so getting more details is impossible!) and so forth. He's a big time researcher, and brings a lot of grants and money to the department, but I wish that he would stop doing inpatient rounds. He obviously hates it, and the rest of us don't benefit either.
My social workers and case manager are bringing me pumpkin bread tomorrow, because I'm being such a good sport about covering all of the teams. So there are bright spots. :)
And now back to bed.

– Bryan, what the hell are you doing making an episode-opening phone call? Don’t you know that’s reserved for sucky chefs who know they’re about to be eliminated so they try to guilt their way into staying an extra week by promising to hit a culinary home run for their terminally-ill mother who is also an orphaned child?
– Eli wins the Quickfire with a delicious-sounding Reuben Benedict, and earns a crucial advantage for the Elimination Challenge: Continuing to not be Robin.
– Bravo cut the entire Whole Foods shopping scene. It really threw me off not getting to see Eli beeline right for some random food, then Michael patronizingly say “Eli went right for this food, and I was like, good luck with that,” then someone asking to see the scallops and going “yes, I’ll take them.”
– Not only does Michael dish out the quote of the night, he frickin’ WINS after his ridiculous explanation. Tom and Nigella agree that his dish is probably something those firefighters like to eat.
