CEREBROSPINALECTOMY
Colleague: "I'll take your Labor Day if you take my Thanksgiving." Me: "That's not a trade." Me: "That's a mortgage." Holiday coverage is the only currency in medicine that appreciates against you. You always pay back a three-day weekend with a four-day one, at interest, in December. Send this to whoever holds your Thanksgiving.
ACCURACY CHECK
No medical claim - clinician-life culture satire about holiday call coverage.
No medical claim. Pure scheduling/culture satire.
