In retrospect, I wish I hid it and said undecided instead of divulging my interest in rads. While some attendings were cool and even went out of their way to dive into imaging more than they usually would just to get me involved, I think a lot more immediately wrote me off as disinterested in the rotation and it took convincing to win them back. It’s like basically starting from behind.
I really tried to get involved and go above and beyond most of the time. Usually the first person there, already checked labs, over night events, checked on patients I’d been following and had prepared presentations. Just didn’t matter to some attendings. I even had one attending straight up tell me he thought I was faking interest when I was asking about something I had read about the night before and was trying to clarify. Its like they forget you still have an intern year and need to know stuff.
