Why is it REQUIRED to log onto SDN to view only the Internship forum?

[TOXOSIS]

Has anybody else noticed that you have to log-in to see this forum? None of the other SDN forums seem to be like this... I wonder if it's a mistake Mods?

My understanding was that there was a rash of threads that were breaking down into flame wars between MD/DOs and other health care professionals who were stumbling upon the forum and getting angered by typical intern ranting/blowing-off-steam.

There were a number of non-physicians who were being very inflammatory and argumentative in there. Requiring logging in cuts down on the random, non-physician traffic.

That's a good idea. Being an intern is like being pregnant- no one has any idea until it happens to them.

Last call: after finally falling 1/2 way to sleep at 0500- pager goes off at 0600:

"Dr- Mrs A's blood sugar is 96! Do you want me to hold her AM insulin??!!!"

me: "Has she decided to quit eating?"

The reward I get for correcting her evening dose.
