Pretensivist

A hospitalist or non-critical care physician who pretends to be, or thinks he/she is an intensivist.
A lot of hospitalists became pretensivists during the pandemic.

That hospitalist tried to intubate some lady with a UTI the other day; what a pretensivist.

The pretensivist trying to place central lines? We’ll allow it.

Why doesn’t that pretensivist just do a critical care fellowship? No? Too scared of crashing patients.

Pale Pretense

When a Caucasian person rushes to deem as something racist on behalf of an African American, and by doing so actually perpetuates a racial stereotype.

For example, a comical T-Shirt on sale by Amazon depicting a Tarot Card called “The Tower” (of Pancakes”) with a description of “Black Women’s T-Shirt,” isn’t great grammar, but when the shirt is black in color, it isn’t implying black women fatty up on pancakes or are Voodoo-practicing fortune tellers.
You’ve got it all wrong; it’s just poorly worded and your executing your pale pretense.

Illusions of Pretense

The return volley of "Delusions of Adequacy", referring to elitist assumptions that any viable corpus of art, logic, or science generated from outside their circle is therefore inherently meritless.
Any brain trust that harbors such Illusions of Pretense about Tinker is doing him a favor not signing him.
