1/ The #blackcloud. A thread. When I was a resident @uiccom @UICDom I was often known as a “black cloud.” For those not in medicine, this can mean a variety of things. For example someone who has very busy inpatient months, admits very complex patients, and is overall very busy.
2/ in my case being a #blackcloud meant when I was on service, we always had a full service, often w very complicated patients, & when we discharged 1 patient, 3 more would be admitted. The attendings and residents knew when I was service, it was more than likely we would be busy
3/ Keep in mind, this is all anecdotal and more superstition than evidence based, but when I came back to @UIHealth @UICancerCenter I wondered if my black cloud would follow me. I jokingly warned my team the first day I was taking over the inpatient service about my history.
