Not to worry
I’m still on track to look like an idiot in every single rotation because I get nervous when put on the spot.
Double bonus points this month because I actually *like* internal medicine and the attending I’m working with is just short of genius* and I should probably try to score well if I’m thinking I might want to go into it someday. So, blanking on how lisinopril causes hyperkalemia in the middle of the ICU isn’t necessarily the best way to go. Blurting out completely wrong answers makes me shut-up gun-shy when I actually know the right ones. Lame.
Just in case you were wondering.
And today’s photo is a random picture of Suh sitting on Brandon. Something she likes to do whether he’s on the floor, our tiny couch or at his computer desk.

*No, he doesn’t read this. No, I’m not sucking up.

I know it’s cliche’, but there are really no bad answers, I can honestly say that through all my life experience so far I have found that to be 100% true ;-)

I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one whose brain freezes when put on the spot. I can practice and practice ahead of time and then when the pressure is on, bam! There goes my brain. Of course, what I’m rehearsing in my brain is much less detrimental to people’s long term existence on the planet than knowing how different things interact with other different things in the human body. You are doing great! So proud of you!

I agree you are doing great. I must admit that your vast amount of knowledge really makes me jealous when it comes to medicine. I could only hope to be as smart as you are some day.
