So I am now a PGY-II, work in a busy iner-city IM program and get to run my own team of interns, SubI-I's and students. I am the first to admit as an an intern I was as inept as anyone and may have done some questionable things and asked some painfully obvious questions to my resident...hell, we are all learning right?
Anyway, just finished a floor month with a intern who.....
while at a nursing station the 6th floor i explain that Mr. Pt had X and Y just happen, please go tho the 8th floor and do A, B then C. After several seconds the intern then nods with a blank look on her face and says 'OK .........how do I get to the 8th floor?
or
on day 3 of said interns rotation I was shown a pager and asked " this thing keeps going off what should I do"
I am pretty laid back, do my best to teach and not to scold, which is probably why this particular inter was assigned to my team. She has a good knowledge base and clinical intuition but , OMFG realy?
anyone else have anything else to add, i need to laugh to keep from crying
