To ask for something as charity of a gift. There are several types of begging: (1) begging for food or money in the case of med students or residents[1], (2) begging for spare surgeries in the case of the Da Vinci surgical robot[2], or (3) begging for Dilaudid in the case of drug seekers.[3]
The Begging Trainee
The begging trainee may be very subtle (reluctantly accepting an attending's invitation to take the team out to dinner) or very blunt ("I need your spare change in order to make rent"). They will nurses, phlebotomists, palliative care, even patients and their families. They may hold out their hand and ask for direct placement of any donated goods into their palms, but some may even resort to carrying collection containers or pushing shopping carts. Some trainees may use their rare, precious moments of not working by catching up on sleep. Some will set up camp outside the nurses station ringing a bell, often being mistaken for the American Red Cross.
