Thank you Rob and Scott. That was very helpful. I’m a new FNP and I plan to treat my first three years of ED work like a residency as much as possible as my training was sorrowfully weak on pathophysiology and emergency conditions. I was looking for a starting point and now I will definitely use Rosen first. What advice do you have for new advanced providers? I have 5 years of critical care/ED nursing experience which has shown me I have a ways to go to be the provider I want to be.
Thank you. I have greatly enjoyed and benefitted from your work over the past year.

Hey, sorry I”m a bit late; could you list the books you suggest for required reading? I know at least one is in your recommended reading page, but I just want to make sure I didn’t miss one!
I believe all of them were on the rec reading list
Love it. Great interview rob!
Just a comment on attire. As a (35 yr old, white) woman resuscitationist, I’ve struggled with the wardrobe issue a lot. I also abhor a white coat, however when I wear scrubs, I magically turn into a nurse. Interestingly, this inherent bias is least evident in male doctors; a good male colleague was shocked that in 2017 it would still be an issue. However, every woman doc I know has had this issue on a fairly regular basis. Most often for me the patient is the one that doesn’t perceive me as a doctor. Despite introducing myself every time, I hear the families or patients ask after I leave, “When am I going to see the doctor?” I’ve tried to find a solution. I tried wearing a white coat–I then am a PA, an NP or a dietician. Sometimes I became the social worker. I wear the big “MD” badge and talk loudly when I introduce myself. Nope The best (albeit most painful) answer I’ve found is that I’ve given up on wearing scrubs and I wear nice clothes every day. Clothes I like. I recently threw away my favorite brown pants that were splattered in Hep C blood, but… Read more »
This comment was sent to me privately and I encouraged the author to put it up on the site. So sad that pt bias determines wardrobe, but seeing this bias play out with my resident and attending colleagues, I know it is a real issue. If you start the conversation with I am Dr. X, I’ll be your doctor, I am one of the emergency doctors here at hospital X; does this still occur?
