I have been put in my place!
I never knew I would be so excited about being knocked down.
It wasn't really all that bad anyways. So, basically what happened is that I started being pimped more by both the really important doctor and the regular doctor that I have been following. This doesn't really bother me because I am expecting pimping. However, this pimping resulted in me feeling two different things. One, stupidity (inadequacy as well). I feel like I should know these answers! And sometimes, I do know the answers but I don't say them because I don't think I am write, and yeah, I end up being correct. Two, more confidence. What?!? Yes, more confidence. They think that I have stuff down enough to even want to ask me about these diseases and processes.
I definitely showed my frustration with being pimped and not knowing the answer. I shouldn't have let it show though... We were in patients' rooms, which is normally how these things work. The doctor that I follow even asked me if I was frustrated with it later... I had to tell him that I was frustrated with myself because I didn't know the answer. For some reason, my brain seems to think that I should know all of the answers already, even though it is only my 4th day into the clerkship.
The nice part about today is that I got some cool feedback from both of them saying that they think I am definitely above average. :-0 Yay! I will take that for now... I am not yet honors level, but if I keep improving I might get there.
