He omitted Family Physicians/General Practitioners – so I propose “A Tree of Family Physicians”. Any other specialties we should specify?
A stretch of physiatrists?
Currently a member of a howl. Aptly named. My floor is never quiet.
Fun fact: It is so rare to see groups of rural physicians, particularly of the full-spectrum family physician subspecies, that there is no official name for a group of them - we’re too busy covering the clinic, the hospital, L&D, the ER, and the nursing home to congregate in groups of more than two, and even then, it happens just long enough to deal with a life-threatening emergency
The only possible exception occurs every 2-3 years, where we all meet for five minutes so everyone can try to avoid being made Chief of Staff and the successful docs immediately flee the meeting, leaving the new Chief to the cruel fate of having to do extra administrative work
An excitement of emergency medicine docs?
Wait what about ID docs? A MIC of them? no that’s the ID pharmacists. A stewardship? no no that’s the IPC people, I think.
No no no obviously it’s a staph of infectious disease physicians 😎
Someone do the intensivists.
A shock of psychiatrists
An antidote of toxicologists
A biopsy of pathologists
