I am an ophthalmology resident about to embark upon the rest of my life. While most of you will probably find most of this stuff boring, I hope to maintain the interest of at least a few readers, so enjoy!

Rules are Made to be Broken - Unfortunately
We in the world of academic medicine have a just a few simple rules that we hope to be followed.
1. When the weather is crap, so is clinic show-rate. BROKEN today.
2. When a clinic is cancelled, I wish to be left alone to do whatever else I need to do, which may or may not be work related. BROKEN today.
3. If I am called while on call to come see you in the emergency room, I expect you to show up for your follow up appointment. BROKEN today.
4. Consults should be legitimate. Asking me to see your patient to evaluate for a condition which we already know the patient has does not count. BROKEN today.
I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones which stand out for the day.
