Here is my situation,
I am an IMG who graduated in 2007, done residency back home in a sub specialty that I matched into last year. My problem is that I have been away from internal medicine for 6 years, I have no wards experience, my sub is out pt only. Currently I am doing a preliminary IM medicine year, so far I am still panicking alot and I don't know what I am doing, sometimes the team will discuss an issue for a pt and I cannot understand what they want or the test to order. I have no IM basic knowledge no experience and I am stressed out, i lost my self confidence, sometimes I feel that I will kill my pts and that's scares me alot. I am spending alot of time in the wards and everyday I am violating my duty hours. The calls, admissions and the pager are my worst nightmares as I am not used to it. Every one is nice to me , but I can not catch anything.
Help please, how can I survive it?
