I'm still a very new intern, but I've noticed a common trend that has been happening to me over the past few weeks.
Show up in the morning with plenty of time to pre-round on my patients, oh but wait, overnight admitting intern got slammed here are 1, 2, maybe 3 more new patients you need to present on rounds - but don't worry, only 2 of them are train wrecks and the other is an MICU transfer that has been in the hospital for 26 days.
I always feel extremely unprepared when it comes time to go through the H&P
I wanted to complain at first, but I've come to the realization that this is just the norm and I'll just have to get better at it.
So, does it just get easier with practice?
