Last time I checked, I didn’t work at Burger King.
SO YOU CAN’T HAVE IT YOUR WAY
Landed safely
The black cloud has survived the day unscathed (but smelling like a bathroom might at 30,000 feet)
About to take off?
No you’re not because the black cloud is on board
(delayed on Tarmac)
:)
And now I just had the privilege to accidentally over what sounds like a physician violate HIPPA by talking about PPI at my gate
I swear to god this is happening
What a day
I should now be known as the resident black cloud of TOADS
You know, I got a cramp in my side from laughing at your posts just now -- I blame your black cloud for that, too. :P
Knowing me I probably somehow magically gave you pyelonephritis :)
GREAT NEWS
My flight from LaGuardia will potentially be cancelled too!
Any more parades I can rain on?
Because I am so changing my URL to something black cloud related
And now I’m on a van that has over 3,000,000 miles on it( I’m sooo not kidding)
Oh god, oh god, we’re all gonna die
I just want to say that, as someone who would eventually like to work in the ER in some capacity, your posts always make me laugh and give me fantastic insight into my (hopefully) future environment. YOU'RE AWESOME
Why thank you:)
Dear Black Cloud: So… do you weigh more or less than a duck? Because according to some well-respected medieval scientists, you might be a witch. Check around you sometime and see if you’ve accidentally turned anyone to a newt. Don’t worry, they should get better.
Best question I’ve received ever.
You sir/ma’am win the award for making me laugh hard enough for people to stare oddly at me.
Talk about black cloud
My flight was cancelled and now I’m being bussed to LaGuardia to make a flight I might not even make
I should change my URL to “the black cloud”
Black cloud story
This one time I walked into male pt’s room presenting with LLQ and pain to obtain a history . As soon as I crossed the threshold into the room he suddenly grasped his chest and said he was in pain
HE ENDED UP HAVING A STEMI
no joke I am With my luck they probably had some blunt chest trauma on the way to the airport and have a tamponade. (at least my flight hasn’t taken off yet cuz I sure as hell ain’t crackin no chests)YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CODE ON AN AIRPLANE
NO DYING ALLOWEDDude, you really are a black cloud.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CODE ON AN AIRPLANE
NO DYING ALLOWED

Please let the TOADS have Assassin’s Creed style rooftop running to cure the sick and ailing, and secret handshakes, and secret milkshakes.
I AM ALL FOR SECRET MILSHAKES
It's hard to get a hold of people on holidays... no matter...
ASPIRINGDOCTORS, ARRANGE ALL THE POST DISCHARGE CARE. NOW.
I’m just like…
…I hate all of you.
I always want to put a banner in the ambulance bay that says “Divert secondary to lack of christmas spirit”
Confessions of a Mischievous Attending
On slow days, I page residents to the hospital cafeteria’s automated daily menu hotline.
On really slow days I send them text messages about poor performance and sign the program director’s name.
Best way to scare the physicians:
Change their screensaver to an image that says
“YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN FLAGGED FOR A HIPPA VIOLATION”
That awkward moment when the hospitalist tries to steal your computer from you
