Hello colleagues!
I am a fourth year resident in Spain and I am currently doing an external rotation (a kind of fellowship) in a hospital different from mine, but also in Spain. The reception has been good, but I have some doubts about the "adaptation" to this new hospital.
The first is that I like grossing and I consider that losing the macroscopic study is losing a large part of the pathology. However, being that a large hospital, all macroscopy is for the small residents. I have offered to do the macroscopy as a way of "help", especially as a gesture of deference towards the first-year resident who spends all day grossing!! However, the chief resident did not like it and scolded the group of residents for letting me grossing, instead of scolding me directly, which I would have preferred, because now I feel bad for the group of residents. I just wanted to help.
And the second issue is that they usually do case sessions under the multihead microscope, which I really like, but the residents do not dare to talk and comment with the pathologist, even though the pathologist encourages them to do so. I have tried to participate by commenting on what I think, but judging by the faces of the residents, I get the feeling that they feel bad that I say something. Which makes me sad because I wish there was more feedback.
So, the question is: is it better to say anything and remain silent, looking like an idiot so as not to generate discord/jealousy?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
