Internal Medicine – Day 20-21

Our attending has been challenging us a bit more recently. Sometimes he asks things that are difficult for me to answer or I have no idea what the answer is. Even though it’s a bit demoralizing confronting just how much knowledge I still lack, it’s also motivating to think about how much there is still to learn. Being able to recognize patterns and put together a story of disease is kinda exciting. Being able to predict what labs will turn up, can having those predictions confirmed when your suspicion is correct is a really nice feeling. That’s what I’m going to be chasing coming into these last couple weeks of IM.
