I just started my first rotation (Ob/Gyn at an academic centre).
After a week of working at the ward, I haven't been yelled at yet because all the residents are super nice to me. Though, I've missed a pimp question or two from one of the rounding attendings (some drug stuff just slipped off of my mind). Let's see... what else.... well, I haven't met my attending yet. I don't know...
I felt like I haven't done much after 3 days. I've only followed three patients from start to finish. I was literally sweating from my back when they asked me to decide the future plans for the patient during rounds and I think it was quite obvious that I was REALLY nervous. Everything I've learned from Step I seems to be gone.
You know that feeling, right?
ie. "based on the lab results this morning, do you think we should change the drug regiment"
"yes"
"well, tell us which drugs and we will put in the order for you"
then you go, "hmmm... I would give her ______ wait I would give her ___________ and ___________, wait... nvm ___________ and ____________"
The rest of the patients are just the typical follow-the-residents-and-learn type of thing. Although the feedbacks are all positive, I feel like the residents are just trying to hold my hands through my first rotation.
Question is, how do you know that you are performing well during a rotation?
You know what I'm saying? I want to honor it but I feel like I've already ****ed up a little....
