@CPark_MD it’s like a switch goes off and the focus shifts on a dime

@DrShamwell That’s 💯% right. Idk how else to explain it, first time I saw my attending do the badge flip in the trauma bay I was like hmm. 30 seconds later within an open chest, I understood why

@CPark_MD - the badge opens all doors, you can’t move 50 feet without it, so the lanyard never comes off while I’m in the hospital. - in the pocket (L picture) >>> on your back (R picture)

@rbarbosa91 The one time I left my badge at home I felt useless. The left scrub pocket is so high-real estate though, can’t afford to keep the badge there (plus it doesn’t fit—ahem asking scrub manufacturers to increase the pocket size)

@CPark_MD That’s right, gurrrl 😏

@LudwigLin 😂 perfection

@CPark_MD Or I'm about to help move a pilonidal patient and I don't want it to get stuck under there again.

@MarkLikesTrauma Also very apt choice

@CPark_MD 💯

@CPark_MD This is the corollary to the other thing I tell the residents and students all the time. If I’m putting gloves on, you should be too.

@kari_jerge 😂 yes that’s it

@CPark_MD The attending version of ‘hoops off’

@CPark_MD Omg I am laughing hysterically because a truer word was never spoken! 🤣

@CPark_MD @DrSpooky_ER I didn't have diarrhea yesterday, but I did have a very fluid bowel movement

@CPark_MD Same goes for special education teachers. If you see one flip their lanyard and put their hair up, you’d better duck bc a desk is about to come flying from somewhere

@CPark_MD They’re also choke hazards if you have a violent patient. This is coming from someone who was stabbed in the head by a patient. By the way the guy who stabbed me… he got 5 years in a Federal penitentiary.

@CPark_MD Actually spit laughed. Thank you 🙏

@CPark_MD @chang6242 I put mine in my pocket...
