smallchild. Sounds like you are not ER doc. Most love it as between the hundred r/o chest pain, they get the chest pain due to knife stuck in chest - ie the adrenal rush. Don't get that in the others you mentioned. And NO call, period.
As to hazardous health risks, don't know of andy ER doc shot inner city, do know of NS shot in his office in NYC and another threatened in Georgia

Again, twisting the topic. We weren't talking about adrenaline rushes. We are talking about how grueling the field is. Granted, ER is better than a lot of fields but I'm just pointing out (correctly I might add) that ER is NOT the least grueling of all fields in medicine.
Burnout, exposure to hazards, needlesticks, HIV+ patients, etc... etc... are all part of the ER mixture. Sounds like you don't know too much about the field. I continue to question if you are a physician. Not too many docs use anecdotal evidence to prove their points (e.g. I know a NS doc who had diarrhea. NS must cause diarrhea)
