Ep.5: Millennial Physicians: Debunking the Stereotype | The Hospitalist Retort

Let's address a little generational issue. The other day in the hospital, I overheard a couple of older doctors making fun of millennial doctors, calling us "lazy" and "unfocused."

Now, I know they were probably joking, but haven't we [millennial doctors] all heard older doctors tease us and say things like, "Back in our day, we didn't have work-hour restrictions"; "Back in our day, we used to do complete physical exams"; or "Back then, we didn't have computers; we had our brains."

Actually, one thing I'll agree with is, yes, millennial doctors do spend a lot of time in front of a computer.
