Quick note: being on call has its ups and downs. On my last call I got to sleep for 5 hours, the call before that I didn't sleep at all. And finally, I am on call this weekend --> Labor Day weekend! Gah!
On my last post-call day, I had to present one of my patients to this super hard attending in the Intensive Care Unit. That is fine and all, I had time to prepare. So, being the good med student that I am, I researched everything and went over my findings with my R2. The R2 agreed with me and so I thought that I was golden. :)
I presented...
and...
was shot down.
By both my "normal" attending and the intensive care unit attending. The crappy thing was that when the ICU attending began explaining what the answer might be, the R2 totally acted like the plan was all my idea and she knew it was wrong all along.
You could say it made me feel kind of stupid.
Unfair? Probably. Unexpected? Not at all. Am I going to do anything about it? No.
At least I will learn from this experience.
Another quick note: My specialty "flavor of the month" now is Cardiology.
