Hey Folks,
So, I am currently reading the book "Heart Failure" by Dr. Michael Greger. It has been a fascinating read so far, although I do sometimes wonder how much embellishment Dr. Greger has thrown in.
For those of you who have not read the book, it's about a third year student and his escapades through different clerkships on his way to his degree. However, it seems that everywhere Dr. G turns, so do his nightmares of being an inexperienced clinical student. He describes the antithesis of what I think learning should be - i.e. attendings berating the third years, racism in medicine, etc.
So, the point of discussion - to all of you who have been past your third year rotations; what was the atmosphere like between podiatry students? Other departments? If you know know other student that went through different programs, how, from your knowledge, did it compare to yours?
I would love to assume that Dr. G's experiences are part of a very small minority, and I do feel like there is more comradeship between podiatrists. What are your thoughts?
