Sucks!!! Please tell me it gets better next year.
Note, see attending, f/u on note, look up new results, see fellow, f/u on new results, document new results, discuss those god damn results ad nauseum until every single possible diagnosis that could ever be possible is ruled out with the fellow, and then find the attending to do the same thing again, lick everyones nuts, then consult people who are fellows in other fields so they can do the same thing over, and over, and over again until everyone is standing around happily stroked off that their profession is the most precise, or exact, or demanding, or smartest bunch that has ever graced the planet, and then give the patient steroids, or metoprolol, or albuterol nebs, scatter in a rectal here, a disimpaction there, and voila, your'e an IM intern.
Did I forget to mention summarizing all above crap in the form of a dictation at discharge?
I'll trade this for the 3 300lb heads that dude was griping about any day.
That was my gripe for the day. Either way though, I still like what I'm doing, so don't let my cynicism fool you.
