Pretensivist 

A hospitalist 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.

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.
