So my hospital is in a partnership with another, larger, hospital, and together they have conceived a third hospital. Now they've moved all the trauma surgeons to the new hospital, meaning from tomorrow there is no longer a trauma ER in my hospital.
So that's maybe 80% of the patients on a night or weekend day shift gone. I guess I exist to occasionally do an abdomen or PE ct, and chest xrays up in the ICU. We aren't a big hospital though so there aren't that many of those, at least not enough to not be bored as hell. Like imagine a night shift without a single bone related x-ray or ct.
Apparently even patients that fall out of their beds and break their hips will be sent to the other hospital since there simply won't be trauma docs on site.
Basically I am wondering what my point of being there is from tomorrow. The whole situation is just very weird to me. Part of me is like "jackpot!", the other is telling me I need to go somewhere else or start to stagnate. I also actually really liked chatting with the nurses and doctors that came down during the night, feels like the shifts might feel a bit on the lonely side honestly.
Any of you folks ever had or heard of such a situation? It just feels so weird.
