When is HE getting here?" They don't have a clue about me (I am a woman), the type of surgery being done, the patient, courtesy or rituals. I have thrown several out of my OR.<br /><br />And yes, they just disappear--even the ones you think are interested. I have pointed things out in the OR to teach, asked a question, waited for an answer... and when we all look up, the medical student is gone. We have even had "excuses" such as hair appointments, personal trainer sessions... and this is at, say 2 (two) PM--as in 14:00... well within working hours. <br /><br />It is infuriating. Sadly for any that are actually interested, this makes me UNinterested in teaching.DrBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957078718446547740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276239648743419070.post-864238844843242672010-05-08T11:35:18.023-07:002010-05-08T11:35:18.023-07:00Ah, so they're finally hitting that stage of m...Ah, so they're finally hitting that stage of medical school? I've been waiting. I likely had that crew (or ones like them) as freshmen. They were like this at eighteen, and unlikely to get better.<br /><br />Makes you fear for the state of medicine, doesn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
