Another Day in the Life

Today, I basically had FOUR hours to see ONE patient, present that one patient, and write a note on that one patient. If you guessed that I spent a lot of time perfecting that one note, you would be correct. 

I shared the note with my attending and at the end of the day, she provided me with some very valuable feedback that I shall share with you. 


Attending: You did a fantastic job today. You were very comprehensive and helpful, and you developed very nice rapport with the patient. 



My reaction:


Attending: You also wrote a great note. I didn't have anything to add to it.



My reaction escalating:









Attending: But, I changed everything anyway.
