- There’s so much…I don't know. I recall the keynote speaker at our clinicians ceremony saying that the firehose of info that’s been fired at us first two years has now been turned to full blast. I recall thinking that’s hard to believe. I confirm now that’s totally true.
- My first rotation is internal medicine. Sure, there’s a ton to be learned from it, but I don’t know if I'm in love with it as much as I thought I’d be. Maybe emergency med or OB/GYN is right for me?
- I'm frustrated that I can’t remember facts much less speak up quickly on rounds…I don't know. I need to review more? I need to stop overthinking? I need more quality rest time?
Final thought of the day: So I got brutally pimped today. I knew my info, but the amount of detail the attending asked of me was the level of a fellow—the senior resident told me so afterwards, and even the attending at the time acknowledged it, but he did it anyway. Now I know hyperthyroidism & Graves’ disease like the back of my hand. However, as prepared as I was, there are things I wish I did differently today—and it’s always the same—be confident in the things you do know. For things you don’t know, don’t be afraid to say, “I don’t know.”
