...and accidently following them into the bathroom. Anyone else do this more than once?
It's people like that making me dread being a resident or an attending at a teaching hospital. Students who are eager to learn and happy to help would be fine. Unfortunately many students feel that showing their commitment means shadowing their superior's every step around the room, looking over their shoulder as they read, and just being generally overbearing. I see this in over 50% of medical students, but I wonder if any of the residents and attendings actually appreciate it...I know I won't.

Sorry RB. Not my intent, just airing how much that annoys me. I'd buy you a beer to make up for it if I could. As it stands, I'll just drink an extra one for ya. Cheers.

While I understand how this could be annoying, I think its also understandable. I've had more than one attending or resident just take off and not tell me that they are about to go see a patient.
How are we supposed to know if the physician is headed to the bathroom verses headed to a patients room?
