I first read this article during my M1 year. It's very instructive in how to deal with a pimping attending. You'll still be pimped as an intern, although probably less than you were as a student.

I posted this about this time last year (I think in the everyone forum or the lounge). It definitely warrants posting on a yearly basis just to remind the new interns. 🙂

Be sure to also check out the following articles:

Beeper Obliterans

How to Survive a Case Presentation

A Prospective Study of Postpartum Candy Gift Net Weight: Correlation with Birth Weight
 
Definitely a classic worth a re-re-read. Especially for us rising interns who need to bone up on our pimping techniques. Look out incoming MS-IIIs!
 
I was given a copy of this essay sometime during my third year... definately a must read for anyone faced with sharks on rounds, oh, I mean attendings.

How to Swim with Sharks

Enjoy!

(ok, I'm editing b/c I just realized this was posted earlier in a different message - sorry!)
 
The most important thing about pimping is to not play "Guess what I'm thinking." Remember that pimp questions are suppose to help the student learn something not make the attending look smart.
