Hey guys, fourth year here, I just wanted to share my experience with a difficult attending and kind of get your idea on what I should do. So I am doing an elective in sth I’m not going into buy genuinely interested in. The attending is very intense and called my first presentation wasting time and other people’s attention. Now after third year i know my presentations are not that bad, I got honors in most rotations and was praised for my presentation more than once. He also pimped me on very obscure stuff and said my understanding is wrong even though I read more than one paper on it to back up my evidence. He also specifically called me to stay out on procedures and patients rooms which is totally understandable but in the context of all this, I’m getting a feeling he really doesn’t like me. He seems frustrated when I ask him a question and replies without looking at me. I know he’s prob just this way and I’m not worried about evals. I just feel like I could’ve been learning more in a better way somewhere else. I really do want to learn but I’m Too tired to put up with this ****.
What should I do guys? Thanks for listening and hopefully I can bring some comfort to people going through the same thing in fourth year.
