I have to admit, I'd not <i>like</i> to watch a circ, mainly because I strongly believe it is genital mutilation (excepting cases where it is medically necessary).<br /><br />However, the rest of it is out of line.

Unreal. <BR/><BR/>Me? Serene? Ha, no. I just recognize in myself the tendency to over-obsess, and I know it won't do any good...one way or the other. If anything, I believe that it is the emotional equivalent of sticking my fingers in my ears and chanting "La la la la la la!"<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the warm huggy thoughts, though. I'll take all the help I can! :)<BR/><BR/>FD~ Sometimes I wonder if it *is* contagious. 20 new kids every 2 weeks? Yipe! I wouldn't have the patience.<BR/><BR/>missgamecock~ As a general rule, nausea is a pretty good sign. However, my perception is somewhat skewed because I was sicker than a dog with CindyLou. I took Zofran every day until I was past 37 weeks just to be able to function. This time around, the nausea isn't nearly so bad, so my brain interprets that as a rather ominous sign. Thanks for the sticky thoughts!<BR/><BR/>arturo~ The best advice that I can give is to discuss the goals of the rotation with the preceptor at the beginning, be interested, be helpful, ask for feedback, and strive to meet the pre-determined goals. Oh, and don't be insolent or lazy. Simple enough, right? ;)<BR/><BR/>medstudentitis~ This was only one student, and luckily, I have found them to be the exception rather than the rule at my current institution. Not so with the students where I did my residency. They made being lazy into an art form. I know you will be a super loveable student. I can tell. :)<BR/><BR/>dr. k~ I know, it makes me feel old, too. Wah.<BR/><BR/>hi maggie~ Yeah, I have good days and bad days. Brushing my teeth really seems to set it off, but not brushing is a somewhat gross alternative! Thanks for the good luck wishes!<BR/><BR/>atyourcervix~ I agree, thankfully, that these lazy students are the exception rather than the rule. Doesn't make it any less frustrating, though. I learned (and continue to learn) a great deal of medicine from the nurses with whom I worked as a student. Most of all I learned how to actually *care* for patients from the nursing staff...a valuable lesson, indeed.<BR/><BR/>milk and two sugars~ Thanks for still reading and the good wishes, I promise I'll have more to say soon, as well! Thank goodness there are good students still out there, or the future of medicine would be quite bleak!<BR/><BR/>Hi Dawn~ Aw, thanks for checking in on me and the bean! So far, so good. Fingers crossed! :)dr. whoo?https://www.blogger.com/profile/10315615480530297472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1165106704247524802006-12-02T19:45:00.000-05:002006-12-02T19:45:00.000-05:00If you get just one of those students every five o...If you get just one of those students every five or six months, you're lucky. We have 20 new kids every six weeks in our clinic. It can be a very miserable six weeks when the "lazy and arrogant groups" come. Do you think they all get that from each other? Is it a virus?Fat Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672076019531106668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1165109747517560312006-12-02T20:35:00.000-05:002006-12-02T20:35:00.000-05:00My doc always told me gagging was a GOOD sign. Hah...My doc always told me gagging was a GOOD sign. Hah I didn't believe him at the time. I was extremely happy when I FINALLY got Zofran at 17 weeks! 40 pills a month that they got approved through my insurance for a $20 copay. Retail price - $1700 a month! <BR/><BR/>Hoping everything is ok. <BR/><BR/>Hey I didn't know docs can order their own labs! I know I would be neurotic and would not be able to comfortably let go. I would have to micromanage everything. Heck I am not even a dr and I still order my records to check them out. When I was pregnant, I drove my dr crazy with how are those labs, when are you sending me for a 24 hr again, don't we need to run those liver panels again? Sad I know. It will be ok and hoping your baby bean sticks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1165131288479622822006-12-03T02:34:00.000-05:002006-12-03T02:34:00.000-05:00Thanks for the advice!

I have to say, I haven't done clerkship yet, but when I do, I hope to be a loveable student who doesn't know a whole hell of a lot but tries hard. Although I'm sure I've learned a lot in med school so far, I'm even more sure that the real learning starts when I get onto the wards. I do remember a really kind OB/Gyn who let me go to OB clinic with her one day and she let me go see patients on my own and measure them and work out dates - I thought it was awsome. I'm sure the majority of your students appreciate what you're doing for them, don't let the few losers ruin it for everyone else!medstudentitishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09740144837675438466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1165195745243747282006-12-03T20:29:00.000-05:002006-12-03T20:29:00.000-05:00I know exactly what you are speaking about; it mak...I know exactly what you are speaking about; it makes me feel so old when I start a rant to a colleague with "you know, back when *I* was a student ...".<BR/><BR/>By the way, Dr. Whoo, tag!

I have run across a few med students like this, they just have no desire to learn, nor do they show enthusiasm for their chosen profession. Luckily, it's only a few that I've run across that act like this. The majority are very eager to learn, and learn not only from the residents/attendings, but are very receptive to learning from the nurses as well. It shows respect for the entire team, that they want to learn from everyone.<BR/><BR/>BTW Dr Whoo, you've been tagged!! <A HREF="http://atyourcervix.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">AtYourCervix</A>AtYourCervixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238926588944507794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1165478485732937392006-12-07T03:01:00.000-05:002006-12-07T03:01:00.000-05:00Just wanted to say that we're still reading.
