We were reviewing for a midterm and I was highlighting how "We don't do this clinically" and "we don't do that that way, we do it this way" and one of them was like
"Can we go back to when you said we? Who is we? You already got the degree. They just need to call you doctor and let you start practicing."
It was funny at the time but I was just trying to grasp whether or not we supposed to know what's in the lecture or what is actual standard practice in clinic. I'd say standard practice personally but I digress.
Its interesting how my own taking the initiative to go to clinic and get hands on experience is viewed by my classmates. Y'all go to the CIAA and happy hours and whatnot and I go to clinic. So yea its a "we" because me and the team see sports med patients every week. I take histories and write notes and examine patients. Me and the team ran L&D and if you were being admitted, I was the first member of the med staff you saw and I took your history and assisted with anything else you needed.
I took a thorough history and took my assessment to my attending and we decided to refer to neuro for symptoms that could only be systemically. That was my initial thought and she agreed. That's what my free time looks like and I love it. Even got a complement on my ease with patients and ability to build rapport for such a young student. I'm honestly having a blast.
So yea....its a "we" and I'm good with that. No, I'm no where near where I will be but at least I'm where I want to be.
